My question is to the Minister for Defence Industry, Senator Reynolds. When asked in an interview on Sky News whether she agreed that flexibility in wages and keeping wages at a relatively modest level is a deliberate feature of Australia's economic architecture to help drive employment growth, the minister said:

No, I don't believe—absolutely not … to even suggest that, I think, shows a fundamental lack of understanding about economics.

Does the minister stand by her statement?
