The member for Bendigo can deny it all he likes; the Australian public accepts this fact. I think he is one of the only ones left who do not. The Deputy Prime Minister accepts this fact.
This government has no economic credibility whatsoever. This is exposed by our decision to oppose these measures. It is the right decision for our country’s future. We should not allow a situation where this government is allowed to rack up $200 billion of debt for our children’s future. It will not be an issue that you will have to deal with, Member for Bendigo, but the kids of the future will.
