Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Minister, how is it that, given the government has cited factors such as global volatility and the Australian dollar as key reasons affecting parts of the labour market, these economies achieve superior unemployment outcomes compared to Australia? Will the minister concede that it is the government's own higher taxes, increased regulation and unstable governance that are the primary factors in explaining these much worse labour market outcomes?
