Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:18): My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday afternoon, 1,300 Western Australian workers lost their jobs at Forge mining services. These job losses come on top of the worst unemployment figures this nation has seen in a decade—in fact, the worst figures since the Prime Minister was minister for employment. When will the Prime Minister start fighting for Australian jobs? The SPEAKER: I give the call to the honourable the Prime Minister, but he will ignore the rhetoric contained within the question; otherwise it might be out of order.
