My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. Analysis by PwC, reported in The Australian, shows wages in regional Australia have grown three times more slowly than in major cities. Given regional workers are already doing it tough, why is the Deputy Prime Minister supporting pay cuts for regional Australians, including up to 13,000 retail, accommodation and food services workers in the electorate of Dawson and up to 16,000 in the electorate of Leichhardt?
