Through you, Chair: I accept that, Senator Cormann. We are in favour of individuals keeping more of their money rather than having the government dictating how it is spent. But you're now releasing some of that money and you're saying you don't know where it will be spent, so how can you assess the impact on the economic growth? You can say that individuals will get more money—we can see that. But will they spend it on imports? Will they spend it on exports? Until you answer that question accurately, you don't know the impact on economic growth.
