The member for North Sydney asked a question about the impact on the retail sector, and restaurants in particular. Can I simply say to the member for North Sydney: his entire political attack and his leader’s attack on this government has focused expressly on consumption payments which we have made as a government to support retail, including the restaurant sector, to boost the 1½ million Australians employed within that sector. We have a course of action; you have a plan of opposition.
