Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:03): Thousands of jobs have been saved by actions through this pandemic. Many thousands of jobs have been saved as a result of actions through this pandemic. But we were also honest at the outset. I remember saying this myself. I remember former Senator Cormann saying it. I know that those in the other place did as well. Not every job and not every business would be able to be saved. Indeed, the pandemic is creating structural changes around the world as well. Not all aspects of previous economic activity are going to come back the way they were beforehand. So difficult decisions will be made by different businesses facing those structural challenges. But we will continue to respond with support in the Australian economy when and where it's appropriate— The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, on a point of order? Senator Wong: A point of order on direct relevance: the question does not go to jobs across the economy, which the minister is referring to, but to how many more aviation jobs will be lost as a result of the government's refusal to act. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, with respect, I think you dropped a word there. The word 'stubborn' was in the second part of the question. I've made a previous ruling that there's a lot more latitude for ministers to address questions broadly when there are pejorative political phrases included in the questions. In this case, I think the minister is being directly relevant to the question. Senator Birmingham. Senator BIRMINGHAM: As I was saying, we will continue to respond as appropriate to the different circumstances, including in different industries, including the aviation industry, where we have targeted support, and we will continue to look at their unique circumstances. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Sheldon, a final supplementary question?
