No. Perhaps we may be enlightened by the next government contribution in that regard. It is really interesting that in the contributions from government members there has I think been only one comment that went to the heart of this debate, and that was when the Assistant Treasurer said, 'Look what we've done in 18 months.' Thank you Assistant Treasurer! I am not sure, if it was on the PowerPoint, whether it was upside down in the graphs or not, but you have made so eloquently and so succinctly the point that Labor members have been setting out through this debate: we are asking—in fact, we are saying—look what you have done in 18 months. What an extraordinary contribution! This government in 18 months has made one very significant contribution. It has delivered more leadership challenges than past budgets. It is extraordinary. McMahon would be proud.
