I am going to be very short and finish off. However, I would like to make the point that, unlike the opposition—who say they are going to vote for this but at the same time say that it is a bad piece of public policy, all to gain political points and try to have it both ways—the Rudd government takes this financial crisis incredibly seriously. Part of our response has been the development of the $10.4 billion security strategy. These bills before the House today are an important part of the government strategy and therefore I commend these bills to the House.
