My question is to the Minister for Employment, Senator Abetz. I refer to the assessment of the Commission of Audit that Australia's minimum wage is too high and its recommendation that the minimum wage should be cut. I refer to the statements made by the Treasurer and the Minister for Finance on budget night that, 'issues around the minimum wage will be considered following the 2014-15 budget'. How is the government considering the Commission of Audit recommendation to cut the minimum wage?
