My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. After a year in office, under the Albanese Labor government the number of Australians in work remains at record highs. For the first time ever, the number of employed people in Australia has reached 14 million. That's despite a slowing global economy. Can the minister provide the Senate with an update on the latest labour force data, released just yesterday by the ABS, and tell us what it says about the performance of the Australian economy under the Albanese Labor government?
