QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Senator SHELDON (New South Wales—Chief Government Whip in the Senate) (15:09): Whether it's 'same job, same pay' or criminalising wage theft, the Albanese Labor government is helping Australians keep more of their pay in their pocket. The government's reforms to paid parental leave are also delivering financial security to about 180,000 families a year. At one of the most important times in their lives, how are these changes helping young families deal with cost-of-living challenges?
Senator McKenzie interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie, that was out of order. I'm going to ask for silence after I've called the minister and he begins to respond.
