SenateThursday 25 June 2026

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (15:10): One Nation talks a big game about supporting Australians against the major parties, but your voting record demonstrates a different story because when you've had the opportunity to support Australians, you have said no. You've said no to five rounds of tax cuts.

You've said no to five consecutive increases in the minimum wage. That's about 12 grand a year more, compared to when we came to office—sorry, I withdraw that; it's up $12,079 per year, compared to when we came to office—and 137 urgent care clinics. You have been opposed to that, but what you are prepared to do is work with the coalition to stand in the way of Labor delivering for working people.

Senator Hanson, your leader, has made that very clear. She said: I'm not anti the coalition … I hope that we can work together… The uniparty—the right wing parties—are those opposite. It is Liberals, the Nationals and One Nation, working together.
