The member for Rankin knows all too well that there's a comprehensive suite of economic measures that we have put in place, and those are measures that are helping to contribute to the comeback in consumer and business confidence. Consumer confidence has picked up 93 per cent off its lows. Business confidence has picked up 70 per cent off its lows. The ABS weekly payroll jobs data, finishing at the end of May, the 30th, showed payroll jobs worked by females increased by 1.4 per cent through May compared to 0.4 per cent for males.

The member for Rankin knows all too well that we're considering a review of the JobKeeper program. He knows that under the coalition, through the economic support that we put in place, we're helping to keep people in jobs and businesses in business.
