Mr Speaker, the point I was simply making, and this was the subject of the question, is that the Leader of the Opposition and the member for Rankin have repeatedly called for a transition in the JobKeeper payment, and that is exactly what is occurring with an extension and expansion of this record spending program, at $101 billion.
JobKeeper has provided remarkable stories right around this country. It's helped keep people in work and helped keep businesses in business. It's a key part of our JobMaker plan and it's a key part of our economic recovery.
