My question is to the Treasurer. Last night, the Treasurer quietly increased the government's debt limit beyond half a trillion dollars. Why didn't he mention this in his budget speech? How can it be that taking the national credit card beyond half a trillion dollars did not rate a mention? Can the Treasurer now reveal to the House what his new debt limit actually is?
