The fact is that Australian workers like those you met this morning, a teacher named Martin and a gig worker named Nabin, will be worse off under Peter Dutton. They actually made that point this morning when we met with them.

Whether it's teachers like Martin being paid for the hours he works through the right to disconnect, which this lot want to get rid of, or gig workers like Nabin being able to access minimum rates of pay, which this lot voted against, our changes are putting more money into the pockets of working people at a time that they need that help. While we're changing the law to lift Australians' wages, the coalition are focused on finding things to cut, of course, so they can pay for hot dogs for top dogs, long lunches for bosses—taxpayer funded lunches. That's what you lot are about, not about helping pay wages for Australians.

Just last night, we had the member for Petrie on Sky boasting about their plan to cut free TAFE, making training more expensive and students worse off. I guess they've got to find that money from somewhere to pay $10 billion for taxpayer funded long lunches for their big business mates.
