I thank the honourable member for Ryan for that question. As the member for Ryan knows and as the people of Brisbane know, and as the people of Queensland and the people of Australia know, it is vitally important that we as a nation live within our means. This Thursday we will be releasing the Intergenerational report, which will illustrate what are believed to be the demographics of the next 40 years of Australia. And it is exciting. It is exciting that we should live longer—we all want to live longer, and we also want to have a decent quality of life along the way.
