By whichever metrics we use, it is evident that the Morrison government has a track record of delivery for Australians in key areas over the past three years. For instance, on the important measure of employment, the Australian economy has created 1.1 million jobs since the pandemic hit, with 700,000 jobs saved through JobKeeper. The unemployment rate is currently the lowest recorded in 40 years, at 4.2 per cent. The Morrison government has introduced a series of legislated tax cuts, with 11.5 million Australians benefiting from tax relief. Soon 90 per cent of taxpayers will be paying a marginal tax rate of more than 30 per cent. In terms of pandemic preparedness, more than 93 per cent of Australians have been protected with vaccines under our National Immunisation Program.
