I don't accept the proposition that was put by the Leader of the Opposition because the Leader of the Opposition contends that the government does not have a suite of economic support that is assisting Australians through this economic crisis. That suite of economic supports has included the additional payment we have made to those on welfare payments. That was done back in April, and there will be another one of those in July. He makes no acknowledgement of the cash-flow assistance, with up to $100,000 for businesses, that is there to support wages. He gives no acknowledgement also of the doubling of the jobseeker payments that have been provided to provide the ultimate safety net to Australians right across the Australian economy.
