I was cleaning up some of the rubbish in my electorate office over the break, and I found this document. It is the back of the Liberal how-to-vote in 2022. Do you remember this document? It was called 'A clear choice'. It had a nice picture of the member for Cook on it. To be honest, I've seen better pictures of the PM.

The member for Parramatta will not use props during the 90-second statement.

It compared the Liberal record in 2022 with the record of the Labor government from 2013.

I thought—for the benefit of the shadow Treasurer, who is interjecting—it would be a good opportunity to update this document with the more recent numbers of the record of Labor government.

The first point is unemployment. It compares Labor in 2013 with the Liberals in 2020, at 4.2 per cent. Well, I'm happy to update this one. Labor's unemployment rate is now lower, at 4.1 per cent. In fact, we've been lower, on average, at 3.6 per cent, than them, at 5.6 per cent. So the clear choice now, friends, is Labor.

The second point on the Liberal how-to-vote compares youth unemployment. On the OG document, the Liberals were at 12.4 per cent during their time. Now Labor has delivered an average of 8.4 per cent. So the clear choice is Labor.

On tax—it was a big mistake including that one!—now again the choice is Labor. (Time expired)

I remind all members about the use of props during statements and question time. In accordance with standing order 43, the time for members' statements has concluded.
