My question is to the Treasurer. Can the Treasurer confirm that more than 30,000 Australians lost their jobs in April, that 64,000 people gave up looking for work altogether and that, for those who were fortunate enough to keep their jobs, the budget papers confirmed that this government will deliver a cut to their real wages?
