Jobs for Australia is our initiative to make sure we leave no stone unturned in our efforts to protect jobs and create new opportunities for Australians.

I believe Australians are innovative people with a "can do" attitude. Especially in these difficult times, we must look for ways to strengthen our economy and build for the future.

Through the Jobs for Australia initiative we will encourage Australians to have their say about the jobs crisis and listen to their suggestions about better ways to create jobs.

You can share your experiences and ideas through this online forum. Also, we will conduct a series of community forums around the nation where we can hear first hand from Australians about their economic problems and their ideas for a stronger future.

Australians are losing their jobs right now and all we hear from the Rudd Government is blame shifting, as they tell us the jobs are going because of the Global Financial Crisis.

Australia is not powerless. Our energy and enterprise will determine our own destiny.

The Rudd Government is wasting billions of dollars in ill-considered responses that will only make matters worse.

We believe the way to a better future is through targeted tax cuts and through innovative ideas to create jobs, such as our green carbon initiative.

Thank you for your interest and input as we continue to work hard towards future Jobs for Australia.

Malcolm Turnbull
