		For a Treasurer who would like to take over the top job, it can do no harm at all to claim the electorally popular territory to broaden his own appeal.
		No, I was feeling very much like a Treasurer, delivering a Budget which was a hard Budget to put together because we had to have very extensive commitments arising out of the war in Afghanistan and border security and aviation security.
		And I believe it is a proper role for the Australian Navy to be patrolling the seas around Australia, and they are properly funded and they have the Government's every support in doing that.
