The government is aware of the forecast and the government is even more aware of the challenges that we face to grow our economy going forward. Those opposite had the best commodity prices in the history of our nation, the best terms of trade in the history of our economy, and they could not balance a budget with the best conditions of all time. Those on this side of the House know that we have to grow the economy to continue to grow jobs. More than 300,000 Australians have a job today. Youth unemployment fell in the last figures released last week. We are seeing tens of thousands of extra young people getting into jobs in this country. That is what Australians at home are worried about. They are not interested in the negative politics of the opposition.
