In my best Australian accent, my question is to the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Government Service Delivery in relation to the nation-building economic stimulus plan, Senator Arbib. Can the minister please outline to the Senate how the Rudd government’s economic stimulus plan continues to cushion the economy from the blow of the global recession? Can the minister explain to the Senate how the government’s early and decisive action to stimulate our economy has supported Australian jobs and small businesses during these uncertain times? Is the minister aware of the views of Australian businesses on the economic stimulus plan’s impact on their businesses and jobs?
