Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Minister for Revenue and Assistant Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

I thank the member opposite for his question. Having only been in this place just under five years, one thing that I have learned is never to take at face value the word of the Australian Labor Party. Let me provide this undertaking to the House: when I look into the matter and receive the full facts—not the Labor version of the facts—I will respond accordingly. Let me make a more general point. This government has provided more choice for people in this country. The choice they had under Labor was no job or a job; 1.7 million people are into jobs who never had jobs under the Labor Party.
