By 6.5 points. That is good news—good news for the economy, very positive, giving business confidence to create new jobs; 200,000 jobs created by business in the past 12 months.

Mr Conroy interjecting—

Don't you want to hear the good news? They do not want to hear about confidence; they do not want to hear about new jobs—it is much better to run a scare campaign! We are getting out there and building new infrastructure, particularly in regional areas—there is a $50 billion infrastructure plan being delivered right now throughout Australia, creating new jobs and improving productivity. Those opposite simply do not want to hear the good news. They simply do not want to hear how this government is getting on with the job of delivering for all Australians. I look forward to the member for Jagajaga joining me in Gippsland and talking to Gippslanders about how their family budget will be affected when the Labor Party's policy results in blue-collar workers being sacked. The member for Jagajaga is most welcome to come to Gippsland at any time. I am happy to arrange a visit for her. (Time expired)
