Peter Dutton (Dickson, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Finance, Competition Policy and Deregulation) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister for Finance and Deregulation. I refer the minister to his comment in the House yesterday that:

... we are reducing the rate of growth in government spending from five per cent per annum to one per cent per annum.

Why does spending growth go up by 5.5 per cent the year after and why would spending growth by Labor of 5.5 per cent not be inflationary?
