QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator HUME (Victoria—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:12): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. The Business Council of Australia has released analysis showing 'labour productivity has gone backwards by an average of 0.1 per cent a year' under your government and 'the 2020s are on track to be the worst decade for Australia productivity growth' since records began in 1960.

What is the government's assumed rate of productivity growth over the forward estimates?
