Those opposite and those observing the debate know precisely where this government stand: we support the economic stimulus strategy. Why? Because, although it cannot remove the impact of the global economic cyclone which is the global economic recession, it can cushion its impact on Australia—on families and on jobs here. We know where we stand on this, but where does the Liberal Party stand? When these measures were introduced, the Leader of the Opposition said:

We support these measures and we are particularly pleased about the measure, the payments to pensioners.

That was last year. Is the Leader of the Opposition now saying—today, in March—that he opposed the payment to pensioners?
