Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (14:23): Whether it's wage rises or tax cuts, the Albanese government is doing everything we can to help working Australians. But we see today reports in the Daily Telegraph that One Nation wants to form a new partnership with the Liberal Party that would risk all of that. Now, this isn't a surprise to those of us who've seen One Nation and the Liberals vote together for years now to cut wages, but it would be a surprise to many aged-care and health workers.

The analysis in news.com.au estimated that under One Nation an allied health worker would be up to $34,000 worse off per year. Aged-care workers would be up to $20,000 worse off under One Nation's plans. So Senator Hanson has already set out a plan to wind back Australia's workplace laws to cut workers' wages and make it easier to sack workers.

And, under their partnership with the Liberal Party, they certainly have a willing partner in the Liberals. Only Albanese Labor government, is delivering the real change that Australians need. The PRESIDENT: Senator Stewart, second supplementary?
