Questions without Notice: Wages and Salaries (6 Nov 2025)

“Due to the inflation fuelled by out-of-control government spending, inflation is higher and projected to stay high, interest rates are staying high, power prices are rising exponentially, and, next year, Australians will have lower real wages to pay for it all. Minister, isn't it very clear now that Australians are worse off under Labor?”

Questions without Notice: Wages and Salaries (6 Nov 2025)

“Minister, the RBA now expects headline inflation to soar to 3.7 per cent and remain high across 2026. At the same time, the RBA is predicting wage growth of 3 per cent by mid-2026. With inflation rising to 3.7 per cent and wage growth rising only 3 per cent, what do you say to the millions of Australians whose purchasing power will fall next year?”

Questions without Notice: Wages and Salaries (6 Nov 2025)

“My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Minister Gallagher. In his statement on Tuesday, Minister, the Treasurer defended the government's economic policies by noting that real wages are growing. Minister, given the RBA's updated forecast released this week, for how much longer will that be the case?”
