I respond to the Leader of the National Party, whose question did go in two parts: the first was his reference to big taxes and the second was on the question of compensation arrangements.

I was responding to the first one before: by the opposition’s own admission their proposal would cost the taxpayer more than $10 billion. The government’s proposal is $3.3 billion. By definition, it is three times larger.
