Thank you, Mr Speaker. You make a good point. The shadow Treasurer does have the MPI today, and it's a reminder that he gives the press conferences before question time and the speeches after question time but never in prime time. Never does he ask me a question in prime time, when the nation is watching. And that's because the responsible economic management that we are providing is unrecognisable to those opposite because they spent the best part of a decade making a mess of our economy and a mess of our budget—and I spend a great deal of my time cleaning it up.
