QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Senator WALSH (Victoria—Minister for Early Childhood Education and Minister for Youth) (14:33): Thank you, Senator Walker, again. Under our government, young Australians are earning more and keeping more of what they earn. We are rolling out our already legislated tax cuts for every single Australian taxpayer this year and next year.
They're tax cuts that those opposite opposed. We are delivering our new instant tax deduction—$1,000, no receipts needed. We are delivering new and permanent income tax cuts for every Australian worker— Senator Henderson interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong?
Senator Wong: President, I raise a point of order on disorderly behaviour. Senator Henderson is very quick to demand courtesy in this chamber, but she offers almost none. She has continued to interject against the minister.
I ask you to call her to order. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, you will be aware— Senator Henderson interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Henderson, it's not a debate. As the chamber is aware, I have called up Senator Henderson personally a number of times and I've invited her to leave the chamber.
I am quite serious about that, Senator Henderson. As I said early in the peace, I think the role of the opposition is not to be named, but that's what it's coming to—a frontbencher on the opposite side being named. I'm warning you; that's what will happen.
Minister Walsh, please continue. Senator WALSH: In addition to our already legislated tax cuts, we're delivering a new and permanent income tax cut for every Australian worker through the Working Australians Tax Offset. Since the Albanese Labor government was elected, the national minimum wage has gone up by more than $9,000 a year.
We know the Liberals love low wages. We like good wages for all Australians, including young Australians. Under Labor's new tax cuts, young workers can keep even more of what they earn.
(Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Walker, second supplementary?
