Senator Hume, we'll get to you. You've been very helpful over the last couple of weeks!

As you've heard me say before, our government is delivering on tax cuts for every taxpayer and a pay rise for 2.6 million low-paid Australians. Across the three annual wage review decisions, minimum wage earners are now getting an extra $143 per week. That's 2.6 million low-paid workers getting their third consecutive pay rise.
