It is interesting, isn't it, that the only time we get questions from the opposition about jobs is when it is in relation to political jobs? They never ask us questions about jobs for Australians. They never ask questions about how it is we can create more jobs in our economy. They never ask questions about how it is we can ensure that our economy grows, because, of course, if your economy grows you can ensure there is greater income and there will be more jobs. It is interesting that a coalition that professes to be interested in Australians never talks about employment-generating policies or growth-generating policies. They come in here day after day and all they can continue with is relentless negativity over and over again. That is the form card of this opposition, both in this place and in the other place.
