Mr President, I have a supplementary question for the minister. Assistant Treasurer, you have outlined new data announced last night about the forecasted performance of the global economy, but isn’t it the case that these numbers are a sobering reminder of the difficult challenges facing the global economy ahead? Do they confirm that Australia is outperforming all other advanced economies? Can the Assistant Treasurer point to any reasons why the Australian economy has performed so well, by contrast, in the circumstances, and is there any independent endorsement of the government’s actions?
