My question is again to the Prime Minister and is about the Spotlight 2c an hour AWA which would see Mrs Annette Harris lose $90 a week in take-home pay. I ask whether the Prime Minister has seen the statement by Mrs Harris in this week’s Coffs Coast Advocate:

How dare he—

that is the Prime Minister—

make comments like that sitting in his ivory tower ... Without us, the workers, you haven’t got a job, without us you haven’t got an economy.

When will the Prime Minister go to Coffs Harbour and explain to Mrs Harris how cutting the take-home pay of hardworking employees like Mrs Harris helps our economy?
