I wish to refer to a matter which the Treasurer raised in question time today and which he has raised on a number of occasions. I have ignored it because, fortunately, everybody else has, but I have got sick of it. I have never compared, as a benchmark for Australia’s economic performance, any of the developing countries to which the Treasurer referred. In the article, I did say Australians were better off than those people in developing countries, because I was advocating giving overseas aid to those countries.
