Chris Bowen (McMahon, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to his previous answer, in which he referred to the importance of services for economic growth. I also refer to comments today by the CEO of AiG:

The services sector remained disturbingly weak in November, reflecting fragile consumer and business sentiment …

and:

The Australian economy remains stuck in the slow lane.

When will the Treasurer acknowledge that the budget has hurt jobs and the economy?
