Thank you very much, Mr Deputy Speaker. I had hoped to finish a little early, but now I will take the opportunity to speak for the next three minutes to cover those points that I have not had a chance to cover because of interjections by economically illiterate members opposite. The reality is that, if this government is going to continue to provide a competitive environment in which business can prosper and Australians can be employed, it needs to take note of some of the concerns that economic and financial commentators have at the moment. The point that I make is this: the coalition, when in government, was able to deal with all of these issues that faced the economy.
