I look around there. I look at the tragic figure of the member for Fraser, with all of those great works of economic analysis, all of those works dealing with the importance of value-added taxes and consumption taxes. Now every day for breakfast he has to eat another volume of his own writing, while under the whip of the member for Grayndler and the Leader of the Opposition! It is a tough life for the member for Fraser! But do not worry. We pay attention to the member's work. We think some of it is very valuable, and it is definitely going into the mix, especially the work in which the member talks about the value of a creative and flexible approach to the tax system. That is the old Labor Party. What we have today is a party broken and devoid of any imagination.
