The honourable member's question reminds me of the member for Reid's fine performance on 7.30 the other night, in which he observed that the Labor Party was so economically illiterate that they were not able to mount a credible class war. The question from the honourable member, which is an example of what we are going to hear a lot more of between now and the election, underlines the fundamental fact that Labor has nothing to run on except a class war, envy and attacks on the banks, companies and business—attacks on anybody except its own vested interests in the trade union movement. Well let me tell the honourable member—and she was kind enough to refer to the suburb in which I live, Point Piper—I do not think there are a lot of owner-driver truck owners there living in my street.
