I want to tell you a story about a man from Queensland who was doing a job for the last three years which was somewhat related to government—in fact, I would say it was quite heavily related to the functioning of Canberra's government. He did that job for three years. Then, after the election that was conducted earlier this year, he read a book from America. The book was called Abundance, and this man read this book. After he read this book, he discovered that what he had been doing in the first three years of this job was all wrong—it was terrible. He read an American book to discover that what he'd being doing in Canberra was actually wrecking Australia. The man's name is Dr Jim Chalmers, who is the Treasurer of Australia.
