Every government, economic authority and expert around the world is urging decisive action to stimulate economic growth. The IMF supports payments to increase spending and stimulate the economy—no less than authority than the IMF. This demonstrates yet again how out of touch Mr Turnbull and those opposite are with the lives of Australian families, workers and the experts. Mr Turnbull should go to the schools around the country and explain to them why they do not need decent libraries, halls and refurbishments. Mr Turnbull should travel the country, because once again Mr Turnbull is putting his own self-interest ahead of the national interest. (Time expired)
