I thank the honourable member for his question. The government is backing the businesses that employ nearly 90 per cent of all Australians. We know that Australian businesses need the encouragement to invest more and employ more. And that is why we are backing in our business tax cuts. We know they will deliver the growth and the jobs in the honourable member's electorate and in every member's electorate. That is the big difference: we are backing jobs; we are backing workers. The Leader of the Opposition is opposing business and selling workers out, just as he did when he was representing them. We are talking one deal after another—one dodgy deal after another. He likes to talk about penalty rates.
