Senator ROBERTS (Queensland) (14:50): Workforce participation under your government only increased 0.1 per cent—a rounding error—and male participation has fallen. Unemployment is up from 3.4 per cent to 4.5 per cent. In August 2023, Treasury Chalmers promised 'a paid job for everyone who wants one'.

Minister, has your government failed miserably to keep that promise, or have you 'changed your position' on creating jobs for all who are here?
