Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (15:04): I note the change in language between the first attempted question and the second, but neither of them, of course, were accurate. This is what the figures released today actually show: the unemployment— Mr Taylor interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The Shadow Treasurer has had a really good go today, so he will remain silent for the remainder of this answer and every other answer to assist the House. Mr ALBANESE: He has had, unusually for the Shadow Treasurer, a good crack today. Unfortunately, they handed the questions from the member for Deakin to him, and before he read them, he just read them out loud. I'll give you a tip, mate. Read them first. Decide how silly they are. Now, the unemployment rate today went down from 4.1 to 3.7 per cent. Those opposite thinks that's bad. Who here thinks that that was good? Government members interjecting— Mr ALBANESE: The unemployment rate at the election in May 2022 was four per cent— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! No, the Prime Minister will pause. The members on my left will cease interjecting. The member for Groom and the member for Page will cease interjecting. The member for Barker will cease interjecting. Mr ALBANESE: Those opposite hate jobs being created; they hate it. Total employment increased by 116,500 in a month. We think that's good. Those opposite think that's bad. Total employment increased by 437,000 over the year. We think that's good; they think that's bad. The participation rate increased. Not every state has an unemployment rate with a three in front of it—I'll say that. It didn't happen when they were in government. Nationally, of course, it's happened most months except the one where it dipped up to 4.1 per cent, but it's back with a three. See if you can guess what these states have in common that have an unemployment rate with a three in front: New South Wales, 3.6—Premier Minns; Victoria, 3.9—Premier Allan; Queensland, 3.9; South Australia, 3.2—Premier Mali; and WA, 3.6. There are five states in Australia with Labor governments; all of them have an unemployment rate with a three in front. They have something in common, which is that Labor governments believe in creating jobs.
