The Liberal-National coalition party has promised to generate 450,000 new jobs in regional Australia in the next five years as part of its election campaign.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison, from the centre-right Liberal Party, said on April 27 the additional jobs were part of the total 1.3 million jobs the Coalition already pledged to deliver.
“Only the Coalition has a plan for 450,000 new jobs in the regions and runs on the board to deliver them,” he said.
“Since we were elected, we have created over 1.9 million new jobs, and our unemployment rate is down to four percent, the equal lowest level in 48 years, and forecast to fall further.”
