I think most Australians understand the debt is simply deferred taxation. Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Does the minister agree with the Prime Minister's statement that 'every time we announce something we properly account for it and properly fund it'?

Can the minister give the Senate details of the accounting and the funding?
