The question put by the Labor member betrays what we have seen from the Labor Party in this place. What was essential at that time was that what was committed to was followed through. That is what gave the Australian business community the confidence to keep people on the payroll, to then put a million people back into work and to ensure that, under the national accounts, as we have just seen, Australia's economy was bigger at the end of June than it was before we went into the pandemic. What we have seen, in the questions put by the Labor Party, is they will happily change the rules on business; they will happily flip them. They cannot be trusted on anything they say when it comes to the economy. (Time expired)
