I don't know whether those opposite would rather be in any other country right now, but I tell you what most Australians know: they would rather be here, because in Australia they are safer than they would be in virtually any other country in the world. They also know that in Australia their jobs, their businesses and their livelihoods are safer than in virtually any other advanced economy around the world. That is the result of the types of policies that have been deployed across Australia, but it doesn't mean that the crisis is over. Far from that, we know very well that there are more Australians who need to get back to work and that there are Australian businesses that are still doing it tough. That's why the budget we handed down this year, our economic recovery plan, focuses on job creation and investment driving the things that will help the recovery to continue.
