I was just commenting in relation to the bills before us. Yes, there are a number of significant issues raised in those bills that affect households in Australia. The Household Stimulus Package Bill is one of them, but the entire stimulus package affects households—whether it is in relation to education, tax bonuses or the payments to be made—in one way or another. It affects Australians and Australian households. The senator on the other side is obviously aware of this. They just want to continue to play the games they are playing.
