I can't let that pass either. You're still not being up-front, are you? Government spending under you is about 25 per cent of GDP. It's currently 24.6 per cent, and I think it's 25 per cent on average over the last number of years. You're projecting that it will fall to 23.6 per cent of GDP, and your only answer to that is: 'We're going to grow the economy.'
