Mr SWAN (Lilley—Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer) (14:17): I thank the member for his question. My answer is very clear: we will update all these forecasts in the forthcoming budget. But I am only too happy to talk about the Australian economy and the forthcoming budget. When you listen to those opposite, all you hear is them talking down the economy. And now we have this new fear campaign starting— Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, a point of order: the Treasurer was asked a very straightforward question. If his answer is 'We'll update our figures in the budget forecast', he does not now need to go into an attack on the opposition. If he has answered the question he can sit down. The SPEAKER: That was an abuse of a point of order. The Treasurer has the call. Mr SWAN: Indeed it is. We do believe in responsible budgeting, unlike those opposite. Mr Hockey interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for North Sydney has previously been warned. He probably did not get to hear me over the noise. Mr SWAN: I was about to make a very important point. This government has been accountable for every week of every year for the last five years. We have always presided over updates, we have always put our budgets out on time. In that five-year period we have not had one set of accounts from those opposite that pass the credibility test—not once. After the last election they were found to have had an $11 billion hole in their budget bottom line. So, over five years, there was one attempt to put forward an alternative budget, which had an $11 billion hole in it. I think that speaks volumes for the competence of those opposite. As we go forward they will seek to talk down our economy every day. Mr Dutton interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Dickson is warned. Mr SWAN: We on this side of the House will get on with putting in place responsible budgets that secure growth in our economy and that secure jobs—900,000 jobs over five years. Had they been in charge, what would we have seen? We would have seen an Australian economy that would have gone into recession; we would not have seen 900,000 jobs in our economy. We would not have seen an economy with solid growth, strong job growth, contained inflation, high investment and strong public finances. We had all those things because this government takes economic management seriously. Those on the other side of the House, if they aspire to be taken seriously, should start putting some properly costed policies on the table. The last time they put them on the table there was an $11 billion hole in those costings. That shows that if you support jobs, if you support growth and if you support strong public finances then you support those on this side of the House, not the rabble on the other side.
