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

My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to today’s news that unemployment has reached a four-year high, with nearly 600,000 Australians out of work; that another $26 billion is to be borrowed to fund his misconceived Ruddbank venture; and that a fourfold increase in the number of days lost to industrial disputes was recorded in the first year of his government. What does the Prime Minister have to say to working families now that he has delivered this terrible trifecta of higher unemployment, higher debt and more strikes? How much closer are we to the Rudd recession?
