At the request of Senator Bernardi, I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes the Treasurer's promise in the 2011-12 Budget to create half a million new jobs over the next 2 years; and

(b) calls on the Government to keep its promise to create half a million new jobs by 1 June 2013.

Leave not granted.

The question is that the motion moved by Senator Kroger, standing in the name of Senator Bernardi, be agreed to.
