My question is to the Prime Minister and further to his last answer and refusal to apologise. I refer him to the forecast loss of more than 134,000 jobs within the next year due to Labor’s high-taxing budget. On ABC this morning the Prime Minister referred to this as ‘a modest increase in unemployment’. How can the Prime Minister boast that this is a budget for families when 134,000 families will move from work to welfare in the next year? These are people; they are not on a balance sheet.
