My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. Last week the Prime Minister told the National Press Club:

… that's what we're about, more jobs and more opportunity.

With 34,000 full-time jobs lost in 2016 and 19,800 more people in the unemployment queue than when the Abbott-Turnbull government was elected, is it not clear that the coalition government is delivering fewer jobs and fewer opportunities?
