I refer the member to my earlier answers on this matter. Our government was elected in 2013. It has been in government for the last five years, and that is a period of time in which more than a million Australians have got a job. During that time the unemployment rate has gone down. During that time participation in the workforce has gone up. During that time the number of Australians of working age who have been dependent on welfare has gone down. During that time the amount we've invested in health and education and hospitals and schools has all gone up. During that time what we've invested in science and technology has increased. During that time the deficit has come down. During that time the economy has grown stronger.
