Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Employment) (14:20): I thank Senator Johnston for that very important question. Everything this government does is about building a strong and prosperous economy, one that is growing jobs and strengthening communities. Australia is now one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Since the coalition was elected, 336,000 jobs have been created in Australia. The job creation rate is more than four times the rate seen in the last year of Labor in 2013. But there is more work to be done. That is why the government are setting about cutting red tape. That is why we have introduced the $20,000 small-business tax write-off. It is why the government are investing more than $50 billion in infrastructure, creating jobs during the construction phase and helping to enhance jobs and productivity for Australia's long-term prosperity. It is why the government is negotiating free trade agreements. A recent report estimates that the China, Japan and Korea trade deals will create thousands of jobs. Senator Cameron: Giving away jobs. Senator ABETZ: Senator Cameron foolishly interjects. Say that to the former president of the ACTU and former Minister for Trade, Mr Simon Crean, who says this is good jobs. Indeed say it to the various other Labor luminaries who have been talking about this very issue like John Brumby, Kevin Rudd, Bill Shorten, Penny Wong, Jay Weatherill, Daniel Andrews, Simon Crean, Jay Weatherill again, Michelle Rowland, Michelle Rowland, Craig Emerson—the list goes on of Labor luminaries supporting the Chinese free trade agreement. But of course what we have from the Australian Labor Party is the exact double-speak that was revealed in The Latham Diarieson page 318, where Mr Shorten says to Mr Latham at the time to support the free trade agreement with the United States, but they will oppose it to the workers. That is the double-dealing of the Labor Party. (Time expired)
