My question is addressed to the Minister for Finance and Deregulation. I refer the minister to the following comment by the Prime Minister, in November 2007, about the impact of government spending on interest rates. The Prime Minister said:

I will not place in jeopardy households already struggling with mortgages.

I ask the minister: what spending restraint is the government currently showing to take pressure off interest rates?
