Thank you, Senator White. Senator White, along with many people on this side of the chamber, has dedicated her working life to assisting working people, including right here in the Senate.

You're right, Senator White: one of the best ways we can help Australians deal with cost-of-living pressures is by helping them get a pay rise. So, I'm proud to say that, under the Albanese government, we are seeing wages get moving again. Since coming to government a year ago, we've overseen the largest increase in jobs of any new government on record and the fastest annual growth in wages in over a decade.
