My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. May I first congratulate you and thank you for the leadership you provided to the chamber today.

Yesterday, the wage price index was released for the June quarter, showing annual wage growth continues to languish at 1.9 per cent. Can the minister confirm that under the Turnbull government wage growth remains at the lowest levels since the index was first published in 1998?
