That is my considered opinion having listened to the views of Senators today. Clearly the Minister for Finance and his Government colleagues have reflected on the commission report. The Minister made a decision on politicians and took a view. He decided to link us with the pension report notwithstanding the fact that it did not refer to us. I thank Senators for their contributions to the debate, which were very well researched and to the point.
