Thank you, Mr President. I will read this quote from a tradesperson again:

If Newbuild wasn’t building these, I wouldn’t be working.

I reckon Rudd’s done a good thing. I’m not Einstein with this sort of thing, but I’m working.

I will tell you what: he is not Einstein, but I wish those guys over there would listen to him. They voted against it. And what about Tony Constantino, Chief Executive, Bovis Lend Lease, who said:

It has been a Godsend for some of these people. For a lot of them it is the difference between their businesses staying afloat and not.

That is Lend Lease. (Time expired)
