Senator ABETZ (Tasmania—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Employment) (14:16): The Australian economy does have sound credentials, and the reason for that is that, after the Howard-Costello government, the Labor Party were given a legacy of budget surpluses and future funds, all of which were dissipated under Labor—and then the debt crisis grew. We said to the Australian people that we would deal with that situation to ensure that our economic credentials remain intact and that is what we are doing, but no thanks to the Australian Labor Party. The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock. Senator Moore: Mr President, I rise on a point of order, again on direct relevance to the specific question, which was quite straightforward: does the minister agree with Mr Robb that debt is low? The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Moore. The minister has 20 seconds in which to answer the question. Senator ABETZ: If the Manager of Opposition Business is so convinced that her point of order is correct, she will agree to the tabling and incorporation of the full question by the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate in the Hansard, which will disclose how false Senator Moore was with her point of order, seeking to obfuscate— (Time expired) Senator Moore: Mr President, on a point of order: I am more than happy to table the question— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Just a moment, Senator Moore. Order, on my left! Senator Cameron interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Cameron! Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order, on both sides! Senator Moore, did you still wish to pursue a point of order? Senator Moore: Just that I am more than happy to table the question, Mr President. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Moore.
