My question is to the Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Senator Wong. I refer the minister to her comments in a media release earlier this year about funding commitments when she said:

You’d hope that before they made billions of dollars worth of promises, they’d be able to explain how they were going to fund it.

Given the latest Labor Party spending spree, why has the Gillard Labor government ignored that clear advice from the minister for finance and steadfastly refused to explain how it is going to fund $120 billion worth of promises before making them?
