My understanding is that this is the efficiency dividend, which has been applied to a number of government agencies by this government, as it was applied to a number of government agencies by the former government. It is good that the Leader of the Opposition has now let the member for Fraser out of protective custody, because the member for Fraser, of course, is a supporter of many of the fundamental reforms that this government is putting in place. He is a supporter of Medicare co-payments; he is a supporter of higher education deregulation. So on many things Labor's shadow Assistant Treasurer has got it right, but on this one he has got it wrong.
