Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:47): Senator Chisholm, let me give you some more relevant information. Total unemployment has fallen by 2,000 in the past month. It has declined over the year. The female unemployment rate is now the lowest it has been since July 2013. That is an employment participation figure that you may care, Senator Chisholm, to deny, but it is the reality and it is an outcome that this government celebrates—the female unemployment rate is the lowest it has been since July 2013. The PRESIDENT: A point of order, Senator Wong? Senator Wong: We did not ask about the female participation rate. We asked about the participation rate of young people. The PRESIDENT: Thank you. I remind the Attorney-General of the question. Senator BRANDIS: Mr President, I was simply trying to explain to Senator Chisholm that if you inquire as to the health of the labour market the most relevant inquiry is as to the unemployment rate, which has fallen as a headline rate. The female unemployment rate, in particular, has fallen to the lowest level in three years. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Chisolm, a final supplementary question.
