Personal Income

My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, what is the median personal income in Australia?
Malcolm Turnbull Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister

I'll take that question on notice, but it is certainly well below the average full-time weekly earnings, because many Australians are working part time and are therefore on lower earnings. But, rather than make an attempt to pick a number, I will take that on notice and I'll come back to the honourable member on it.
