Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:19): To the member's question, first, the government has no plans to change the design of the MRRT. Second, there is an ongoing process which is well known—and the shadow Treasurer, if he had chosen to inform himself about it, would have known it for some time now—which is that we referred to the GST distribution review issues associated with the interaction of state royalties and the MRRT. They made a set of recommendations and the Treasurer has discussed that. The Standing Council on Federal Financial Relations agreed that the heads of Treasury would investigate a cooperative approach to resolving the issues regarding interaction of state royalties and the MRRT. So to the shadow Treasurer, who is following the Leader of the Opposition into an inability to keep up with the contemporary economic debate, that meeting between the Treasurer and his counterparts was in December, and the process of— Mr Tony Smith: Speaker, on a point of order on relevance, it was a very straightforward question and the Prime Minister keeps attacking— The SPEAKER: The member for Casey will resume his seat. It was a very long question offering many points of direct relevance. The Prime Minister has the call. Ms GILLARD: I was asked by the shadow Treasurer about the MRRT. I am answering that question. I am directing him to the publicly available information about the GST distribution review and the publicly available information about how— Opposition members interjecting— Ms GILLARD: There is no amount of yelling at me that changes these facts. This is the publicly available information from December last year about the Standing Council on Federal Financial Relations and the publicly available information from since that time, when there have been discussions in train between federal Treasury and the heads of other treasuries around the country. The member who asked the question does really need to catch up with that. MRRT is an important long-term reform, and like all long-term reforms it is there to make a difference not only for today's generation but for generations into the future. Behind all of the shadow Treasurer's bluster lies one simple proposition: do you think Australians should get a fair share of the mineral wealth within their grounds, yes or no? No amount of yelling gets you away from answering that basic values proposition. We say 'Yes'; the opposition says 'No'.
