My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware that in Sydney today his government’s spin machine is casting for electricians to appear in the latest round of taxpayer funded advertising, this time on apprenticeships? Is the Prime Minister aware that the talent for this professional and well-paid job will earn $500 an hour for a minimum of four hours? Will the advertisement also tell the truth about the wages apprentice electricians earn—as little as $6.37 an hour?
