My question is to Senator the Hon. Eric Abetz, representing the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations. Will the minister update the Senate on the latest employment figures? How is the Howard government acting to further drive down unemployment in this country? Is the minister aware of any alternative policies, particularly in light of the backflip by the Leader of the Opposition, the Hon. Kim Beazley, with respect to AWAs over the weekend?
