Mr Smyth: No, no, one is 96.

MS GALLAGHER: I am just saying you were right, Mr Smyth. I do not know that you need to argue with me about that.

Mr Seselja: Were you right on Tuesday?

MR SPEAKER: Order! Let us have the Treasurer answer the question.

MS GALLAGHER: Well, yes, I was right on Tuesday, but I did not go to the point of liabilities. I am just saying in response to what you have just said in your question, Mr Smyth, that it is a rare and beautiful moment when you have been correct with your numbers.

Mr Smyth: Which you fail to understand.

MS GALLAGHER: No, I did not fail to understand.

Mr Hanson: Yes, you did.

MS GALLAGHER: No, I did not fail to understand.

Mr Hanson: You were wrong on Tuesday, now you come back sneering at Mr Smyth.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr Hanson. Treasurer, just answer the question, thank you.

MS GALLAGHER: Thank you, Mr Speaker. I do not recall the reason around the increase in liabilities. I did get that information, Mr Smyth, and I will find it for you. I just cannot recall what the reason was around the increase in liabilities.

MR SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Mr Smyth?

MR SMYTH: Thank you, Mr Speaker. Treasurer, what proportion of the territory’s aggregate liabilities is comprised of the liabilities of the superannuation provision account?

MS GALLAGHER: Can Mr Smyth just repeat that question, please? I am sorry, I did not follow it.

MR SMYTH: I can indeed. Treasurer, what proportion of the territory’s aggregate liabilities is comprised of the liabilities of the superannuation provision account?

MS GALLAGHER: I will have to take that question on notice, Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Mr Doszpot?

MR DOSZPOT: Treasurer, what effect will a change in interest rates have on the value of liabilities in the superannuation provision account?
