I thank the honourable member for McPherson for the question and recognise that the national accounts released today show the economy grew at 0.3 of one per cent in the September quarter. That is 2.7 per cent over the year. This is the first full year of the coalition. Compared year on year with Labor, our 2.7 per cent in the last 12 months compares with 1.9 per cent under Labor over the corresponding period. It was 1.9 per cent under Labor.
