Garth Hamilton (Groom, Liberal National Party) | Hansard source

Absolutely! I wish for another golden age of Howard-era government, and so do the Australian people right now. If you ask the Australian people what they would like more of, Whitlam-era politics or Howard-era stability, strength and growth of real wages. Between 1996 and 2007, real wages growth was 21.5 per cent. Under Howard, real wages growth was 21.5 per cent. Government members are doing a terrible job on their key commitment.
