They know that the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement offers the prospect of thousands and thousands of jobs right across the board, in every industry: services, agriculture, manufacturing, design, education, tourism—without exception. That is the largest single economy in the world. The efforts of this government, the efforts of this trade minister, have seen the doors to that economy flung open and the Labor Party wants to stand in the way and say: 'Stop the future! No, go back! You should be afraid.' The Labor Party thinks they can frighten people. They will succeed, if they win government, in frightening people into poverty. Only the coalition understands the importance of growth, the importance of prosperity, the importance of ensuring that we are utterly engaged in the global economy.
