My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister guarantee that his industrial relations legislation will leave no worker worse off?

Our industrial relations legislation is designed to get Australians back into jobs, which will leave them better off, and to be in a growing economy where people will be better off. The Leader of the Labor Party does not have a policy to create one job, but he's got plenty of interest in keeping his own. Our policies are designed to create jobs, whether it's in industrial relations, whether it's supporting the manufacturing industry, whether it's building safer roads, whether it's getting HomeBuilder on the ground and seeing people getting into their first home, or whether it's getting lower energy prices and investing in the science and the technology to deliver the energy resources that we need for heavy industry in the regions. Our recovery plan is working.
