My question is to the Minister for Finance, Senator Cormann. Can the minister confirm that, after a debt issuance expected tomorrow worth $800 million, gross national debt will exceed $500 billion? Can the minister also confirm that he will set a new record, taking up the mantle for being the first Australian finance minister to rack up half a trillion dollars in gross debt?
