Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. In pursuit of some sort of response regarding basic economics, can I point out further that insolvencies in the state of Queensland increased by 164 in the past three months compared with the same period last year—an increase of 60 per cent and double the national average. Is this an indication that the federal government does not understand Queensland industry, has its priorities somewhere else in Australia and is doing nothing to help Queensland business?
