You can try and pretend, because the illiterates over there and Mr Hockey— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! If you wish to waste question time with interjections, then so let it be, but it is completely disorderly. You know that it is disorderly and it reflects poorly on both sides of the chamber when it happens. Senator CONROY: Look at the evidence—800,000 jobs since we came to power, an economy that those opposite continue to try to talk down. 'No pulse,' said Senator Brandis a few days ago. 'No pulse,' said Mr Hockey—demonstrating his economic literacy—'It's flatlining.' Yes, it is flatlining at three per cent growth and 800,000 jobs. We protected 200,000 jobs during the global financial crisis that you dismissed as just that thing that happened for six weeks in the Northern Hemisphere. This government is proud of its achievements in supporting modern families; proud that we introduced the schoolkids bonus, which you are going to take away; proud that we have introduced new payments for families— (Time expired)
