There's a range of tax policies in this country and you of course have highlighted one in particular. I can tell you that of course we don't have any plans to tax the age pension—if that was an implication in your question. We continue to try to provide assistance to those Australians who are most in need. This is a caring and compassionate government, led by a caring and compassionate Prime Minister. We are doing our best to repair the damage that was done by the former government in a whole range of these areas, and we'll continue to do that.
