My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to statements by Westpac’s chief economist, who said:

Confidence on issues such as employment, inflation, international conditions and overall economic conditions has collapsed …

Given that the Prime Minister has inherited the lowest unemployment rate in 34 years, why has business confidence collapsed under the Prime Minister’s government? Does the Prime Minister really understand the impact of what he is doing to businesses and families across Australia?
