My question is to the Minister for Employment, Senator Cash. In the Turnbull government's submission arguing against a fair increase in the minimum wage, it argues that:

Low-paid employees are often found in high-income households.

In an interview with Neil Mitchell on 3AW, the minister at least five times failed to answer how many of the 200,000 people on minimum wage have a rich family to rely on. Given that she has had time to prepare, will the minister now tell the Senate how many of the 200,000 people have a rich family to rely on?
