My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. I refer to Pacific Brands laying off 1,850 Australian workers who have been making shoes, clothes and homewares. I refer to the Prime Minister’s claim that his December clash splash would create 75,000 jobs and to the Treasurer’s claim a few weeks ago that the cash from the cash splash was spent on ‘socks and jocks and polo shirts’. Prime Minister, how does your socks and jocks led recovery look now, and how many more workers will lose their jobs because of your economic incompetence?
