QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:19): Senator Waters, I would make the point that the things that you talk about One Nation opposing are all reforms that a Labor government has delivered—just to make sure that we are actually having an open and honest discussion. We are the ones who brought forward the closing loopholes bill, which was voted against by One Nation twice.

We are the ones who put forward the secure jobs, better pay bill. We are the ones who put forward the protection of penalty and overtime rates. We are the ones who are delivering cost-of-living relief, including new and permanent income tax cuts—including those that are in the budget, which we look forward to your support for.

There is always more to do, and we will keep delivering it. And what I would welcome, Senator Waters, is you and your party working to bring people together, because that is the best answer to the coalition of the right that we observe opposite.
