Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:10): If members opposite were serious about creating and protecting jobs, they would be joining the government in scrapping the carbon tax and the mining tax. That is what they would be doing. They would be joining this government in scrapping these job-destroying, anti Western Australian taxes. That is what they would be doing. Ms Burke: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order: relevance. The question goes to an important issue—that is, as to what Senator Abetz did in trying to vary some of the presumptions on employment. It is a serious question and deserves to be treated as such. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister has the call and will answer the question. Mr ABBOTT: The insinuations in the Leader of the Opposition's question are simply false, as a statement released by the Department of Employment today makes absolutely crystal clear. I tender the statement from the Department of Employment.
