On this side of the chamber we understand these record figures do not happen by accident; they are the result of strong economic policies we put in place as a government. We are creating a strong economic framework and providing direct assistance to Australians looking for work. We're delivering personal tax cuts, and small and medium business tax cuts. We're delivering trade deals. Those trade deals result in more exports and more jobs. We have delivered record infrastructure and defence industry investment. Not only are we creating jobs but we're also focused on getting people off welfare and into work. All our policies are also directed towards doing that: the PaTH program for our youth, ParentsNext to assist young parents, and policies to assist the mature-aged. When we say that the best form of welfare is a job, we mean it.
