I will just remind her again that Africa is a continent. I was asked about the comments and I made the quite obvious observation that the commodity price decrease is having an impact on our economy, that iron ore prices infiltrate our entire economy. but any ideas to assist would be worth considering.

Of course I support the Treasurer on that basis.
