Kevin Rudd (Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

Let me add a sentence for the honourable member who objects so volubly. The governor said:

Let me make it clear that I am not talking about Australia here; rather, I have in mind countries where public debt could approach 100 per cent of annual GDP …

Can I just suggest to those opposite that it is time they embarked on a positive strategy to build the Australian economy up rather than the continued negative campaign to talk the economy down.
