You'd think, with how long they gave him to come up with his first question in quite a while, that he'd come up with a better question than that. Let me tell the shadow Treasurer the key difference between the approach that we announced today and the letter that they wrote the Prime Minister on Friday. The main difference is that, in the plan that we announced today, we didn't forget the heavy-vehicle users like those opposite did. Those opposite called for a $1½ billion change which completely ignored the fact that heavy vehicles were paying 34c a litre. That's how they came up with the costing of 1½ when the costing is a bit more like 2½.
