In the brief time we have before the adjournment, I'd just like to say that the Treasury Laws Amendment (COVID-19 Economic Response) Bill 2021 is another example of the myriad of supports that the government is providing to small and medium business right around this country. I know that across the electorate of Forde some 5,900 businesses have been able to take advantage of the extended loss carry back measures to invest more in their local economy and support jobs.

We've also seen significant support for apprentices and trainees across the electorate of Forde, and a range of other measures. Whether it's building new infrastructure or whether it's providing support like JobKeeper to keep businesses open, many of the businesses across my electorate have taken advantage of these opportunities provided to restructure their businesses, keep their doors open and keep Australians employed, and that is what has been so important through COVID. The Morrison government is delivering for people right across my electorate of Forde, and right across this country. This is just another example, and I commend the bill to the House.
