Wayne Swan (Lilley, Australian Labor Party, Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

I certainly do welcome this question, because we have another day and another position from the member for Wentworth. This is what he had to say in a press statement issued yesterday. The lead par reads:

Today’s National Accounts shows the resilience of the Australian economy …

But he wants to come in here all the time and talk it down. And, of course, in the Senate today we have seen the Liberal Party try to blow a further hole in the surplus, showing very clearly where they stand. They stand for people who are buying luxury cars. They stand for lower taxes on luxury cars. They do not stand for working families who need lower interest rates.
