Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Given that Asian centres such as Singapore are increasingly being selected by entrepreneurs and companies as a base to establish their headquarters in the Asia-Pacific region, rather than Sydney and Melbourne, hasn't the government's fiscal and regulatory approach of more taxes and red tape contributed to a decline in the competitiveness of our cities in the region?
