During question time I was asked a question by the shadow Treasurer, the member for Curtin, about two speeches—one given on 4 June by the Assistant Treasurer in this House on 4 June and one given by myself in this House on 18 June. Both speeches were about the Commonwealth Securities and Investment Legislation Amendment Bill 2008a piece of legislation which the government supports strongly and which is very important in the context of the current global economic uncertainty that we face. Of course, the second reading speech was given by the Assistant Treasurer, Mr Bowen, on my behalf.
