My question is to the Minister for Finance and Administration and Leader of the Government in the Senate, Senator Minchin. Will the minister inform the Senate of the important role that good economic policy can play in reducing poverty and expanding opportunity for low-income Australians, particularly in light of the fact that this is Anti-Poverty Week? What steps has the government taken to address poverty and income equality in Australia?
