I am surprised, if I may say, that Senator Birmingham, who is usually one of the more assiduous senators on that side, has not taken the time to consider these issues more closely. He would recall that we have had this issue on the COAG agenda. There is already a decision of COAG as to a timetable for consideration of the four per cent. If those opposite want to take a constructive approach to this, I would suggest they clarify their view on whether or not the opposition remain locked in behind the four per cent, or does that depend on where the senator opposite comes from?
