President, I rise to make a point of order on direct relevance. There were two parts to Senator Rennick's question: one was whether he has read the analysis, and the other was whether he can name a single advanced economy where real household incomes have fallen as much as they have in Australia. I don't believe the minister has confirmed whether he has seen the analysis, because he hasn't actually referenced it at all. Nor has he identified whether he can name any country where people have been left as worse off over the last year as in Australia. Can he?
