The honourable member says it is about education. It absolutely is. And that is why we are devoting millions of dollars to promote coding in schools so that our children have digital literacy, because that is going to be just as important as reading, writing and arithmetic was to most of us when we were at school. These changes also affect the rate of investment. Because of the leadership the government is showing, we are starting to see some of these big superannuation funds for the first time investing more into the start-up sector. That is where leadership matters. It is where the change of culture, the business culture, matters and where we will see the prosperity for our children and grandchildren in the future.
