My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm reports in today’s Financial Review that:

The fund is already $20 billion above target and more than three years ahead of schedule, according to Treasury estimates.

and that finance minister Senator Nick Minchin has effectively changed government policy on future surpluses, pledging only:

... this year’s surplus and next year’s surplus will be going into the Future Fund.”

When will your government stop its desperate attacks and focus on delivering the high-speed broadband network that all Australian businesses and consumers need?
