Mr Speaker, congratulations on your elevation to office. My question is to the Prime Minister. Isn't it the case that, almost two years after this Liberal-National government came to office, there are now 114,000 more unemployed Australians?
Tony Abbott Warringah, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
And there are 330,000 more employed Australians. There are 330,000 more jobs in our economy now than there were on election night—330,000 more jobs in our economy now than there were on election night—
Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Finance
Mr Speaker, on a point of order—
Tony Abbott Warringah, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
and I think I have fully answered this question.
