My question is to the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Senator Watt. After a decade of deliberate wage stagnation under the Liberals and Nationals—those opposite—Australian workers and households are feeling the strain of cost-of-living pressures. Since coming to government, the Albanese Labor government has introduced a raft of reforms designed to ease cost-of-living pressures for all Australians. I note some of these reforms have just recently started to come into effect for working Australians. Minister, how is the Albanese Labor government's workplace relations agenda supporting wages growth and creating secure full-time work for Australians to help ease the cost of living?
