My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Cormann. New data released today confirms that already stagnant wages growth has slowed further since the election. Can the minister confirm that today's ABS wages data reveals that annual wage growth has fallen to a low of just 2.2 per cent and, at just 0.5 per cent, Australian workers experienced no real wages growth in the September quarter?
