Hon GERRY BROWNLEE (National): I wonder if the Minister of Finance might elaborate a little bit—I'm speaking to Mr Bayly's Supplementary Order Paper (SOP) and the importance of it—on why he needed to go to a recent appropriation of some $3 billion to cover the sorts of activities that Mr Bayly's SOP should, at least in some part, prevent. Was the Minister not able to tell us why he sought a $3 billion appropriation?
