As an example, out of the data that came out of the national accounts yesterday, bear in mind that in the last quarter we had 0.9 per cent growth. In the last quarter the United States had -0.2, Japan had 0.6, Germany had 0.3, France had 0.6, the United Kingdom had 0.3, Italy had 0.3, Canada had -0.1, Korea had 0.8, Taiwan had 0.7, Hong Kong had 0.3 and Singapore had 0.8. We were faster than all of those countries, and the Labor Party is upset about it. Shame on the Labor Party!
