My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to section 674 of the Corporations Act and Australian Stock Exchange listing rule 3.1, which require corporations to provide accurate updates to the Stock Exchange on matters which may affect their share price. Inconveniently, the figure that the banks have nominated that they will have to pay is less than the Prime Minister's budget forecast. So what is it, Prime Minister? Are the budget numbers wrong or are the banks lying?
