I'll go with Deputy Speaker.

An honourable member: But she would have been a great Speaker!

Thank you, Deputy Speaker. You would have been a very good Speaker! But, Mr Speaker, meanwhile—

Honourable members int erjecting—

those opposite get rid of the ABCC. We know how important that is to productivity. We know that that is helping to reduce the cost of construction in this country. The Treasurer gave us a painting today, Mr Speaker. He was a forecaster, not a leader. He was a commentator, not a Treasurer. We need a plan, Mr Speaker. That's what Australians want now.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Seriously, shadow Treasurer, you are just going to have to dump the 'Mr Speaker' when I am in the chair, okay?
