I hear those opposite interjecting. If you do not like it—if you do not like the way it sounds or the way it looks—do something about it. Time is running out. You can stop this pay cut to 700,000 Australians. You can stop this pay cut for hospitality workers and for retail workers—for hardworking Australians who just want reward for their effort, who cannot hire an accountant to fix the rules of the game in their favour and who turn up every day trying to make their life better, make life for their family better and make this country better.

Those opposite ought to be ashamed. If they want to be able to look at their constituents in the winter recess, they should act now. (Time expired)
