My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. Real wages are 2.1 per cent lower today than the day that Labor took office. According to the RBA's own forecasts, they will continue to fall throughout the year. Under this government, Australians are not treading water; they're going backwards, and many families and businesses are going under. Minister, after three years in office, will you finally admit that real wages are lower under your government?
