My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his claim that he can repay the nation’s $315 billion debt by 2022. I also refer to the statements from the Treasurer’s office last night confirming that contrary to what was said in the House yesterday these claims are not supported by the budget papers but rather by Treasury modelling. Will the Prime Minister now release the Treasury modelling or are Australian taxpayers just to be left with a debt repayment promise that does not add up?
