My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. I refer to Australian Bureau of Statistics data released last week that showed the workforce participation rate has now fallen 0.6 percentage points over the past 12 months to 64.4 per cent, the lowest participation rate in a decade. Why are Australian jobseekers the losers under Mr Turnbull?
