My question is for the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Cormann. Today the National Accounts confirmed we're in the deepest recession since the Great Depression almost a century ago, and we've recorded the worst quarterly contraction since records began, of seven per cent. Isn't this the worst time for the Prime Minister to be cutting JobKeeper, cutting JobSeeker, cutting wages and freezing the pension?
