QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator STEWART (Victoria) (14:20): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Senator Watt. The Albanese Labor government understands that Australians are doing it tough right now with the rising cost-of-living pressures. The government is doing its part by advocating for wage rises, providing tax cuts for every worker and ensuring that workplace conditions are improved.

How is the government's position on boosting wages helping workers in industries like health get more in their pay packet?
