Thank you for that advice, Mr Acting Deputy President. Today Senator Abetz was very careful in his language when he said that since the introduction of Work Choices there have been 260,000 extra jobs created in the Australian economy. He said ‘since the introduction’; he did not say ‘because of the introduction’. Why? We know there is no way the government knows about the impact of Work Choices.
