QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

The question did contain interest rates, the rising cost of a mortgage and also the Treasurer's budget and tax. So there was quite a little bit more in that question than just what the Manager of Opposition Business had indicated to the House. But the Treasurer was just about to talk about inflation, so I'm going to listen carefully to make sure that, if he's talking about inflation, he's talking about the question he was asked, not another topic.

The Treasurer has the call.
