Let me just finish the point I was making in answer to your first supplementary question, Senator Ketter. That is also a higher rate of wages growth than the OECD average. Now in relation to Mr Akerman's observations, I have not read Mr Akerman's observations, but I am sure as an honest person and as a good Villanova man, Senator Ketter, you would not misrepresent the position. I disagree entirely, if Mr Akerman had that to say.

Now this evening there is a great event in this Parliament House—a great event. It is the launch of John Howard's series on the great Robert Menzies. I believe, Senator Ketter, that history will show that Mr Turnbull will rank with Sir Robert Menzies and the great John Howard as one of the great Australian prime ministers.
