I have to follow a new low, but I will ask the Prime Minister the following question: can the Prime Minister confirm revelations in today’s Australian Financial Review that this year’s Budget Paper No. 1 was printed and pulped just days before the budget, reportedly due to errors stemming from late decisions by the government and ‘disagreement in the bureaucracy over figures’? Can the Prime Minister please inform the House what last-minute changes prompted the government to order the pulping of Budget Paper No. 1 and what figures in the amended version should also be written off as pulp fiction?
