Senate debates Questions without Notice

Employment

Deborah O'Neill NSW, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Assistant Minister for Innovation

My question is to the Minister for Defence Industry, Senator Reynolds. When asked in an interview on Sky News whether she agreed that flexibility in wages and keeping wages at a relatively modest level is a deliberate feature of Australia's economic architecture to help drive employment growth, the minister said:

No, I don't believe—absolutely not … to even suggest that, I think, shows a fundamental lack of understanding about economics.

Does the minister stand by her statement?
