My question is to the Treasurer. I refer to what has been described as the Treasurer’s ‘spend and pretend’ budget. Does the Treasurer expect Australians to believe his budget predictions that the Rudd government will go from being the biggest spending government today since World War II to being the meanest government in 20 years after the next election? Treasurer, when will the debt binge end?
