Senator Ross said the question of respect for minorities was a sensitive issue. There is no doubt that it is. Schooling is one area where it has worked very well, despite the fact that community schools and colleges respect all religions. The Senator also asked for a debate on competitiveness, with which I agree. It is not true to say we awarded ourselves a pay rise. It was awarded to the public service by the benchmarking committee and it is up to anybody who does not wish to take the money to send it back.
