He is very famous in the WA Liberal Party for that—the new Noel Crichton-Browne. But this is an important issue. Is the opposition, the alternative government in this country, now seeking to trash the IMF and trash Australia's contribution to the IMF?

I am astounded. I did not know you could get that low and that you could so much abandon your economic credentials. I am shocked. (Time expired)
