The member for Rankin should quit while he's ahead and say no more. The coronavirus supplement has gone to 2.3 million people, at $9.7 billion. In terms of JobKeeper, 996,388 businesses with more than 3½ million employees have received $42.27 billion. That program is costed at $101 billion. The reality is that we're getting on with the job of helping businesses stay in business and people stay in jobs. When it comes to our $314 billion, which is 15.8 per cent of GDP, we'd also like to see the states contribute more, because their contribution has been around 2.4 per cent of gross state product—that is in comparison to our 15.8 per cent.

We hear from the member for Rankin. He is often complaining about debt and deficit but then asking us to spend more. The member for Rankin had been asking for a transition down from JobKeeper. Now he says he's not in favour of a transition. The member for Rankin said that people on JobKeeper were getting paid too much. Now he wants people on JobKeeper to be paid more. The member for Rankin is jumbled. His head is jumbled with all these different facts and figures. The member for Rankin should no longer be known as the member for Rankin; he should be known as Jumble Jim.
