I am not going to go to what was not the question. I am not going to repeat the earlier contribution that Senator Wong and I made in terms of the tax cuts, for example to small business, and the tax cuts to superannuation. I am not going to go to those issues. I do not want to be repetitive. I do want to stay on what I believe and what I recollect is the issue—that is, the $11 billion. The Liberal Party is going to give the $11 billion back to the mining companies who actually want to pay the tax. I find that quite extraordinary. Not only do they want to give the $11 billion back to the mining companies that want to pay the tax in the first place, but they have committed themselves to one of the major expenditure items: the increase in the superannuation guarantee.
