Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to his claim a moment ago that the Liberal Party had no interest in protecting jobs or never puts jobs first. Could the Prime Minister confirm that during the 11½ years of the coalition government 2.1 million jobs were created, that during the previous Labor government unemployment rose to over 11 per cent, that at the time of the election in 1996 when the Labor government left office unemployment was over eight per cent, and that at the time the Prime Minister’s party won office unemployment had dropped to a historic low of only a little over four per cent?
