Mr HOCKEY (North Sydney) (14:07): My question is to the Treasurer. I remind the Treasurer that he forecast for this year a budget surplus of $1.5 billion—but he abandoned that promise in December. I refer the Treasurer to the government's January Monthly Financial Statements, released at 5 pm last Friday, which show the current government deficit so far this year to be $26.8 billion. Treasurer, will you now come clean with the Australian people and tell us what the deficit is going to be? Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! If people are interested in hearing, they need to listen. The Treasurer has the call.
