My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. Yesterday I met with Kate, who, while working in South Australia, was paid $25 a day to pick 800 kilos of oranges. Kate worked seven days a week but still had to search for food in local supermarket garbage bins. Why does the government allow conditions like this in Australia?
