I've dealt with these issues in many answers before, but there is one set of statistics that I can confirm, and that is that, in the last 12 months, 371,500 jobs were created in Australia, of which 315,900 were full time. That does compare with another 12-month period: the last 12 months when the Leader of the Opposition was employment minister. During that time, there were 129,000 jobs created, of which only 32,900 were full time. Nearly three times as many jobs were created in the last 12 months as in the last 12 months when he had responsibility for employment.
