Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:10): My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to today's labour force figures, which show unemployment has risen to six per cent. The unemployment rate in Australia is now higher than any time in the last 10 years. Why has the government failed to develop a plan to stand up for Australian jobs? Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Yesterday you asked the opposition to tighten up their questions because they contained argument. Both of the questions the Leader of the Opposition has asked today are full of argument and supposition; and, quite frankly, when we were in opposition we had to be much more disciplined in our questioning. I ask you to ask the opposition to get their act together. The SPEAKER: I thank the Leader of the House for his intervention, but the question will stand.
