Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance) (14:22): When Labor was elected to government in November 2007, the unemployment rate in Western Australia was 3.3 per cent. After six years of Labor, the carbon tax, the mining tax, additional red and green tape, guess what it is now? It is now 5.9 per cent. Because we have had this anti-Western Australian Labor Party in government for six years, businesses and families in Western Australia were hurt with massive additional taxes and massive additional red tape. The effects are now there for all to see. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cormann, just resume your seat. On my left, Senator Cormann is entitled to be heard in silence. I want silence on my left. On my right! Senator CORMANN: On this side of the parliament we stand for stronger growth and more jobs. We stand for helping Western Australia to be more successful. Instead of burdening business and families in Western Australia with all these additional taxes, we want to help Western Australia to be more successful. (Time expired)
