My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister’s series of announcements in the past few months on job creation: the $15 billion COAG agreement, where 130,000 jobs were promised; the $10 billion pre-Christmas ‘cash splash’, where it was said 75,000 jobs would be created; the $4.3 billion infrastructure announcement, where 32,000 jobs were promised; and the $42 billion stimulus package, which was said to support 90,000 jobs. Prime Minister, given that you have now spent $72 billion, which it was said would create 330,000 jobs, exactly how many jobs have been created by the measures?
