As I say, I would take the senator’s question more seriously if she and her colleagues had done anything in this parliament today or anything this week to raise these issues. But, as I have indicated, the opposition are more concerned about defending luxury car tax purchasers. We have had 22 of them speak on that in this parliament this week—22 of them committed to speaking on the luxury car tax and only one question before this on the plight of pensioners. Those are the opposition’s priorities. The Rudd Labor government is focused on delivering for pensioners and assisting them, and we would appreciate if the opposition got its priorities right and focused on their issues rather than the needs of luxury car purchasers.
