QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator HUME (Victoria—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:16): Labor has delivered the single largest fall in annual productivity ever. It is a fact that we are less productive today than we were when Labor was elected. Minister, what is Treasury's current estimate of average labour productivity growth for the 2020s, and what rate would be required to make up for the lost productivity under Labor and the 2020s becoming the worst decade for productivity growth since records began?
