My question is to Senator Cormann, the Minister representing the Treasurer. I refer to yesterday's release of the NAB Monthly Business Survey for August 2019, where their chief economist, Alan Oster, said:

in the retail sector. When is the government going to take up or come up with a plan to boost an economy that is floundering on its watch?
