My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Abetz. I refer to the recent release of a publication by the Minister for Trade and Investment, Mr Robb, entitled Why Australia: benchmark report 2015, which states:

With more than 23 years of uninterrupted annual economic growth, a AAA sovereign risk profile and diverse, globally competitive industries, Australia remains well placed to build on an impressive record of prosperity.

I ask the minister: does that sound like a budget emergency?
