Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister inform the Senate of other views on the effects of the government’s nation-building economic stimulus plan? Has the government had an opportunity to consider those opinions, and what conclusions can the government draw about the success of the nation-building economic stimulus plan in helping to cushion the effects of the global recession on the Australian economy? In particular, is the minister aware of any expert views on the effect that the economic stimulus plan is having on the global economy?
