I thank the member for Banks for his question and for his representation of his constituents in the seat of Banks. I can say to the member for Banks that I came across an interesting observation just recently. Let me quote:

In terms of life expectancy, 70 is the new 64.

Indeed, the person who wrote this went on and said:

And in terms of health, 74 is the new 64.

…    …    …   

Yet to look at many of the statutes on our books, you would think that none of these changes had ever occurred.

So I was wondering, who made this prescient and astute observation about 70 being the new 64? Who could it have been who made this observation? Well, he is here in the House. Not on the side of the House but the member for Canberra.
