Mr HOCKEY (North Sydney—The Treasurer) (14:02): I did not say that. Mr Dreyfus: That is a lie. Mr HOCKEY: What was that? You withdraw. Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The member for Isaacs made a very unparliamentary intervention and I would ask him to withdraw. Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The Treasurer made the comment on television last night. For him to stand up in the parliament and deny— The SPEAKER: No, we will not be debating in question time. The point was made that the member for Isaacs made an unparliamentary comment. Will he withdraw? Mr Dreyfus: I withdraw. Mr HOCKEY: The interviewer asked me a question and put a whole lot of things into that question and assumed that the answer was relevant to that particular point. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: We will have some silence, please. The Treasurer has the call. The question has been asked. Mr HOCKEY: The Labor Party left Australia in a mess. The Labor Party left the budget in a mess. The Labor Party is now in a position where not only are they opposing us keeping our election promises in the Senate; the Labor Party is opposing us keeping the Labor Party's election promises in the Senate. So I would say to the Labor Party that, at a certain point, you need to accept responsibility for your actions. Mr Bowen: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The question was about the Treasurer's and the Prime Minister's deceit of the Australian people. He should be relevant to the question— The SPEAKER: There is no point of order. It will be a very wide-ranging answer when you ask a question in such broad terms. Mr HOCKEY: If, as the member for McMahon says, the question is about deceit, I would ask him to explain why we ended up with a deficit of $123 billion. I would ask him why we ended up with $667 billion of debt. Why is it the case that the member for Lilley never actually delivered four surpluses in a row? Why is that the case? If we are going to have a discussion about deceit, I would suggest that the Labor Party is standing on very thin ice.
