It is if they wish, Senator Abetz, because we are not requiring people to. Clearly this is a competition, so I will take that interjection. In terms of the issue that Senator Boswell raises, I would have thought it would be very clear from the way the government is approaching not only this policy area but all policy areas that jobs remain the central priority for this government. I note that those opposite are the ones who voted against the stimulus package. In terms of the CPRS decision, again I refer to Senator Nash’s question where she was essentially criticising the government for adopting the position that Mr Turnbull had argued for—which was a deferral. We have delayed the CPRS by one year. (Time expired)
