As the Treasurer knows, the pre-election economic forecast is not delivered by the Treasurer of the day. The Treasurer of the day reads about it with every other Australian. It is delivered by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of the Department of Finance. I am happy to inform the Treasurer that the PEFO showed a deficit of $30 billion.
