Mr BOWEN (McMahon) (15:10): I have a supplementary question to the Treasurer— The SPEAKER: I beg your pardon, the member for Tangney. Mr BOWEN: Madam Speaker, you called me. I was on my feet first. The SPEAKER: Yes, I did. Mr BOWEN: Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have a question for the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the fact— The SPEAKER: Will the member just pause for a moment. Mr BOWEN: Certainly. The SPEAKER: It is the same principle that applied before, and the member for McMahon was on his feet before the member for Tangney. Mr BOWEN: Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the fact that budget deficits have doubled on his watch, adding $68 billion across the forward estimates. If the Treasurer believes we are in a budget emergency, why have you doubled the deficit?
