My question is to the Minister for Employment, Senator Abetz. I refer to the $2 an hour pay cut for cleaners at the Department of Immigration and Border Protection due to his abolition of the Commonwealth Cleaning Service Guidelines. Can the minister confirm he misled the Senate on 7 July 2014 when he said 'nobody has had a pay cut' because of his decision and declared, 'I categorically deny that anyone's wages have been cut in any way, shape or form'? Will he now correct the record?
