Our position is that we should be joining the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. That is a position we adopted last October and that the government were dragged kicking and screaming to. The government showed such lack of interest and such a lack of foresight that they could not make a decision to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. That is the sort of economic leadership we are seeing from this government.
