 Let's go to finance. Treasurer¹ Joe Horkey says this weekend's G20 summit in Brisbane won't just be talk first. Mr. Horkey told us earlier he's determined² to get a water tight commitment for his economic agenda. We have lied down a plan, a plan for growth and jobs. Just as we do it dramatically, we are doing it internationally. And that plan involves submissions³ from all 20 nations. and there's 1000 policies that have been submitted. They will in total help to global growth around 2% over the next 5 years, that means tens millions of new jobs. If you go to announce it, you would have a skin in the game. But importantly, we would get a monitoring mechanism⁴ going forward that insures that those countries stick to these plans over the next few years.
