Under our economic recovery plan, we've been investing in some $251 billion of economic support to Australians—to businesses, to households, to families across the country. That continues. Significant parts of that economic support package continue. Of course, we have added to it in recent weeks as well.

As we enter the next phases, with the end of the JobKeeper program that we introduced, the largest single intervention ever in the Australian economy, we've subsequently implemented a $1.2 billion tourism and aviation recovery package, providing 800,000 half-price airfares across the country to get Australians travelling, to make sure we support those sectors that we need to target to continue to save and to create jobs for Australians. Our SME loan guarantee scheme has been widely welcomed by businesses, providing some $40 billion in lending support, all of it designed to keep the jobs growth we're seeing going into the future.
