It's very simple. On this side of the chamber, the Turnbull government, we understand that lower taxes for business mean they are able to reinvest back into the business they own. They can then grow that business, and in growing that business they create more jobs for Australians. That is what the labour force figures released today show. We also note that lower taxes for individual working Australians mean that they are able to keep more of their hard-earned money and in doing so they are able to go and spend more on goods and services. The labour force figures released today show that the economic policies that the Turnbull government has embraced and is putting in place are helping businesses to prosper and grow, and in prospering and growing they are creating more jobs and, as I've said, a record number of Australians in full-time employment. That is something that our policies have delivered.
