QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Senator ROBERTS (Queensland) (14:45): Your economic report card is full of red ink: underutilised workers increasing to 1.68 million, real wages falling 1.5 per cent and labour market productivity falling five per cent, due in part to your obsession with net zero and wokeism nobbling the economy, reducing productivity, increasing inflation, running up debt and making working lives harder.
Minister, where is your plan to turn this around to keep a roof over workers' heads and food on their family table?
