Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Doesn’t the Gillard government already have a minister whose specific responsibility is to ensure that taxpayers’ money is spent efficiently? Is that not the Minister for Finance, Senator Wong, who sits right behind you, Senator Conroy? Has the Gillard government at last realised that a retired Liberal finance minister will always do a better job than a current Labor finance minister?
