QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE: ADDITIONAL ANSWERS

Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for Finance, Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Women, Minister for Government Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (15:06): I wish to add further to a question today from Senator Hume on living standards, where I said in my answer that they are growing faster than every G7 economy.

The latest OECD data shows that living standards in Australia are growing faster than the average of G7 economies.
