Bill Shorten (Maribyrnong, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister's comments this morning:

… we never opposed the former government’s bills to raise the debt ceiling. We never opposed them.

I also refer the Prime Minister to the Hansard record from 4 February 2009, which shows him voting against an increase in the debt cap. Prime Minister, why say to the Australian people one thing this morning when it is not in fact true?
