Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): To answer Mr Brownlee's question as to how this ended up here he's going to need to pick up the phone and call David Caygill and Roger Douglas, because these effective clauses have been in the Act from the time it began, with the odd word change here or there over the years, as the way in which, for example, monetary policy set has been changed. This bill isn't changing that, and the clause that he refers to—and, Madam Chair, given the member did it, I'll also do it. The clause that then is part of Part 3 that the member refers to has not been used, to my knowledge, in the time that the Act has been in place, but it has always sat there for the possibility that there might be a set of circumstances that arise that the Government of the day considers it needs to do this: a crisis of some description; an issue that needed to be dealt with, be it runaway inflation or whatever it might be. It's not something I, as a Minister, have proposed; it's been in the Act in one form or another since 1989.
