Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan has said the government’s stimulus package will help to create 80,000 new jobs over the next decade.
Mr Swan said that over $52 billion of stimulus the government has pumped into the economy could deliver workers an extra $100 billion in earnings over the next 10 years.
The Treasury has estimated the stimulus packages would also prevent an extra 210,000 people losing their jobs.
“Our stimulus is world’s-best practice. Australia is going forwards while almost all the other advanced economies are going backwards,” said Mr Swan.
