I would remind the House that 18,883 people in the member for Corio's electorate have graduated off JobKeeper—73 per cent of the member's own electorate have graduated off JobKeeper. Indeed, Senator Henderson and I visited Cotton On in the member's electorate, a business employing more than 5,000 Australians. The member for Corio wasn't there. We were there to celebrate the fact that it has also graduated off JobKeeper and to also celebrate the fact that, in the member's own electorate, they were making an investment in the expansion of their distribution centre, creating more than 100 new jobs.
