My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware that the recently enacted Commonwealth Securities and Investment Legislation Amendment Act 2008, which was supported by the opposition, enables the government to provide additional liquidity to the mortgage market? Why did the Prime Minister and his Treasurer ridicule any discussion of Commonwealth investment in mortgage backed securities, when only two months ago the government changed the law to make such an investment possible?
