I wonder if the minister could tell us what one to two per cent exposure is in real terms. I note that Citigroup analyst Craig Williams says that for the four big banks the exposure to the credit default swaps is some tens of billions of dollars. I wonder if that aligns with the minister’s estimate. And I ask this question in this splendid chamber: is there a senator here who believes that there are executives who are worth more than 10 times the base wage of the Prime Minister of this country?
