I am extremely pleased to take that question from Senator Cormann because it gives me an opportunity to explain to the chamber just how wrong he is and to invite him to correct the record, given that he has been out on the radio and on television making assertions which are simply untrue. Senator Cormann has asserted in relation to the Future Fund that the government is raiding the Future Fund—that the govern­ment is withdrawing funds from the Future Fund. He is wrong. He is utterly and com­pletely wrong, and he ought to know better.
