Through you, Madam Temporary Chair: it is interesting that we sit on this side today and that you have moved on a number of occasions that the question be put. You are now sitting on that side trying to rush this through rather than sitting and listening to the contributions that are being made, knowing that there are discussions being had. Instead, you want to stand up and grandstand. There are some on this side, Senator Abetz—through you, Madam Chair—who would think that, with some of the performances he has put on throughout this discussion, the senator is really vying for an equity card from Actors Equity. But back to the issue of the household stimulus package and, further, to the issue of the tax bonus for working Australians: working Australians will benefit through the tax bonus; there is no doubt about that.
