Australia's debt levels are heading for $600 billion in the forward estimates, hence my move to reinstate a debt ceiling designed to ensure governments and parliaments think twice before making ill-conceived kneejerk funding decisions. Given the minister's assurances on this, is the $90 million that the foreign minister pledged to Ms Fenty going to come from the 2017-18 foreign aid budget, the 2018-19 foreign aid budget, or some glorious foundation for pleasing globalist pop stars?
