I was a little worried for the member for McMahon. We have released a major Treasury document, we are three quarters of the way through question time and he has been in witness protection. So the Prime Minister has asked me to take this question to give him the answer. This document is prepared under the very same legislation that the member for Lilley prepared the Intergenerational report five years ago. He is still here. I would urge the member for McMahon to get onto his feet and walk over and counsel the well-tanned member for Lilly, seek his counsel. He looks very relaxed. We remember the last one: more air than the Hindenburg, the last IGR. But this time around, we have worked with the Public Service to deliver a document. If there is any part of this document that the member for McMahon wants to dispute, then please stand up and dispute the facts, challenge the facts. We are prepared to engage in that discussion—
