will examine the challenges that we face, the policies that we have. We will develop new policies.

I would encourage the opposition leader over the next three weeks to think about changing his question time strategy. He should have pity on the people of Australia, who are crying out for an opposition that is actually interested in the economy, that is actually interested in the details of the problems that Australians face and wants to hold the government to account. But just shouting a political zinger or slogan across the dispatch box, what is the point of that? It can receive a political answer but can get nothing of substance. So I invite the honourable member, in the spirit of collaboration, of almost bipartisanship, perhaps he will agree to pity the people of Australia and have a question time where questions are genuine, serious and focused on the real challenges.
