The next question is on unemployment and whether it will be impacted by the Trump Trade War. If it is, would that impact the government’s ability to deliver on its spending commitments?
Look, the impact of tariffs is something that we’re considering, but as you would be aware, like everyone else looking at what’s occurred in the United States. There have been a range of changes made on a day-to-day basis. What we’ll do is work those issues through. In some cases, some of the tariff changes, just choose one, for example, I have spoken to some meat producers here in Queensland, some of them, yes, there might be issues with the United States, but there are pluses on the other side with exports to China because of the relationship between China and the United States and what’s happening on trade there. So we’ll work those issues through. The budget was only handed down in March 25, so a short time ago, the budget was handed down. But we’ll work through those issues. We’re confident and I’m very optimistic about where Australia’s positioned.
