Hon CARMEL SEPULONI (Minister for Social Development and Employment): The difference between December quarter 2021 and the September 2017 quarter was 90,952. However, the member will know that it's better to compare the same quarters and that in the December quarter there is often a seasonal spike, largely due to students leaving study. When you compare December quarters for the same period, the difference is 78,384. The member will also know that at the beginning of the pandemic, Treasury forecast benefit numbers would peak at 487,500 in January 2021. Due to the Government's quick actions to support businesses, through the wage subsidy and our investment in employment supports, the highest number of people receiving a main benefit was actually 391,227 in January 2021, 96,273 less people than forecast.
