I hear the Manager of Opposition Business. On the face of it, he makes a reasonable point. The difficulty I've got is that the question had the assertion about 'hard snapback in September' and all the rest of it, which does open it up for the preamble that's occurred. I think the Treasurer now has to bring himself to the question. Where he was going just as the Manager of Opposition Business approached the dispatch box was onto the topic of tax, and that is not relevant to the question either directly or indirectly, I've got to say.
