I thank you for that Mr President. It is important that we clearly understand that the coalition between the Liberal Party and the National Party represents two distinct parties but on this issue we are as one. At least we are open and transparent about it, but the coalition between the Labor Party and the Greens has been taking the whole of the Australian people for a ride. So we support this motion but we hope that Australia does not have to live with $200 billion worth of debt, because I do not know and the Labor Party do not know—because they have never shown us—how on earth we are ever going to pay that money back.
