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

My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. Reports today confirm that MYEFO will be released on 19 December and the deficit will be up. Why has the Treasurer today refused to confirm the government's own budget papers, which show a return to surplus in 2021, and isn't it the case that this government is so chaotic that it would prefer to keep its $50 billion tax cut for big business rather than retain Australia's AAA rating?
