We do see the per capita numbers jump around a bit. I think in the last 200 releases, 48 of them have seen a dip in those numbers, so I don't think that is surprising at all. I think the things that we should be focusing on for the economy overall are that the economy continues to grow—that is a good outcome—that we are seeing record low unemployment, that we're seeing the beginnings of wages growth, that we're seeing high participation rates, that we're seeing the gender pay gap close, that we have delivered a surplus against the deficit that we inherited and that inflation has peaked and is moderating.
