Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:17): Honestly and truly, I have just pointed out to you that the part-time employment rate has actually fallen slightly in the last month, but the unemployment rate, which is the headline figure, the most important measure, has significantly fallen to 5.6 per cent, so that we now have the lowest unemployment in Australia for three years. Senator Pratt: Tell that to the people who are giving up. The PRESIDENT: On my left. Senator BRANDIS: I know the Australian Labor Party does not like to hear the good news, Senator Pratt, but the good news is that when we have a decline in the rate of unemployment to a three-year low of 5.6 per cent, and within the workforce a slight increase in the proportion of people in full-time employment versus those in part-time employment, those are a good set of outcomes.
