My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the recent NAB monthly business survey, showing that business conditions have eroded sharply over recent months and are below the long-term average. I also refer to the Westpac consumer sentiment index, which remains 14 per cent below where it was at the election. Treasurer, isn't it the case that Australian businesses and consumers have voted no to the government's unfair budget, which has been bad for the economy?
