My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to a report just put up on the Australian Financial Review website that states:

Treasurer Wayne Swan has been tackled by four Labor MPs over the government's big-spending policy announcements and looming cuts to the federal public service.

Given that the government has a $120 billion black hole and that his own MPs are concerned about tax increases, will the government stop spending money and start coming to the truth with the Australian people about tax rises? (Time expired)
