I thank the honourable member for Leichardt for the question. I would like to thank him and recognise his contribution to a very successful finance ministers meeting of the G20 in Cairns. It was incredibly successful. The people of Cairns, led by the member for Leichhardt, the mayor, Bob Manning, and the entire council were outstanding hosts. Three and a half thousand people were involved in hosting and facilitating the G20 finance ministers meeting in Cairns. I would particularly like to pay tribute to my parliamentary secretary, the member for Moncrieff, who did a lot of organisation at the other end.

Honourable members interjecting—

He is a good man.
