They have to take their chances. And, as my colleague and friend says, they will have the baby bonus. I do not know how much that will go into the field, but it worries me greatly. The Rudd government is crowding out the finances. It is not learning the lessons of history, but it will have a slogan: ‘Ruddbank, first in frontier financing. We’ll go where no-one else is prepared to go.’ This is not only a shambolic proposition; this is a wretched remedy to a problem that has actually been created by the Rudd government, and it deserves to be thrown out. Whoever dreamed up this idea should go and find something else to do with their lives.
