I'll do my best to answer a question that didn't really make sense. It didn't really make sense. Then again, it doesn't make sense to oppose income tax cuts, but that is what they have done time after time after time. They oppose income tax cuts, and the other thing that they oppose is the real wage increases that the minister just spoke about—that 4.75 per cent increase in the minimum wage that brings the increases for those on minimum wages and awards to $12,000 since we came to office. We want Australians to earn more and to keep more of what they earn, which is why consistently we have made submissions to the Fair Work Commission arguing for increases in real wages, something those opposite have never ever done.
