Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Minister, I refer you to comments by Peter Harris, the chair of the Productivity Commission, where he warned of the need for a continuous program of economic reform to prevent a hit to income growth. Minister, are Australian jobs at risk of a sharp rise in unemployment if the terms of trade continue to fall faster than the government is forecasting? What risk mitigation strategy does the government have to protect Australian jobs?
