Turnbull says the government is creating jobs and argues Labor's agenda would mean less investment, fewer jobs and lower wages.

"The honourable member and her leader can accuse me of being a friend of big business as much as they like. But you know something, I have never sold out the people I represent. I have never sold out workers. I have never sold out people who work with their penalty rates, not like the Leader of the Opposition," he says.

This is greeted with much jeering and noise from Labor.
