Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Whilst it is clear that the global economy remains a serious concern and we are not yet out of the woods here in Australia, can the Assistant Treasurer update the Senate further on what impact the Rudd government’s stimulus actions will have on Australia’s economic and job security? Is the Assistant Treasurer aware of any alternative strategies to address the current economic conditions? What might have occurred to the Australian economy if the Rudd government had taken such an approach?
