Every day I am working to ensure that Australians without jobs have good prospects to get them—by concluding the China-Australia free trade agreement, which will be good for jobs for decades to come; by ensuring that the Carmichael mine is not sabotaged by the friends of the Labor Party, because that is $20 billion of investment and 10,000 jobs; and by ensuring that our workplaces are clean and honest by cracking down on the dodgy union officials, the rorts, the rackets and the rip-offs that the Leader of the Opposition is determined to protect and to cover up.

There are 335,000 more jobs in our economy than there were when this government came to office, in part because of the good work of our businesses, in part because of the commitment of our workers but very much in part because of the good policy from this government—policy that we will stick to, policy that ensures that this country really is open for business every single day.
