My question is to the outstanding Leader of the Government in the Senate, the Minister for Finance and Administration, Senator Minchin. Will the minister inform the Senate of the importance for the Australian economy of the government maintaining budget surpluses and making a contribution to national savings? Further, will the minister, in line with his previous answer, inform the Senate how other levels of government are performing in this regard?
