I just wanted to start by thanking the shadow Treasurer for this resolution. When you get to hump day, you need something to help you over, and I will never get bored of watching the other side choke on their own rage when you challenge them on the economy—because they're the born-to-rulers who always say that they're the best at managing the economy. How dare you challenge them on that!

There was no better expression of that choking on your own rage than the contribution from the member for Mackellar, that shouty contribution. It was a speech delivered in caps lock. The entire speech was delivered in caps lock, yelling at us the whole time, asking how we could conceivably even talk about the shadow Treasurer's matter of public importance, and going through what we've done. The reality is that when you look at what they're doing on that side of the House, they ain't doing much. Except for what the shadow Treasurer has pointed out: we're seeing all these downgrades, we're seeing all these bad stats, and we're seeing the RBA say, 'Do something; we can only do so much. The government has got to do something.' But what do we get out of the coalition? We have reviews aplenty—look at how many reviews we've got! They're busy little beavers—all these little reviews.
