My question without notice is to the Minister for Jobs and Innovation, Senator Cash. Today, Telstra workers and their families have been devastated by the announcement that Telstra will shed 8,000 jobs over the next three years. When did the government first become aware of Telstra's plan to cut 8,000 jobs, and what measures is the government putting in place to assist the 8,000 workers and their families?
