My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to an announcement by Lend Lease just before question time that they are going to cut 1,700 jobs, including 340 jobs in Australia. I ask the Treasurer: given that the government has dressed up all of its announcements since the budget as ‘nation building and jobs’, why has Australia’s largest property developer just cut jobs across the nation?
