Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:54): My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has refused to guarantee today that Australia's future nurses and scientists will not be saddled with higher fees and greater debts as a result of the budget you have just brought down. Will the Prime Minister at least guarantee young Australians that they will not be forced to choose between going to university or owning their own home as a result of his election lies? A government member: He should withdraw lies, Madam Speaker. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will resume his seat. Yesterday I asked you to withdraw the term 'lies' and to rephrase your question. I would ask you to do the same today. Mr Snowdon interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Lingiari. Mr Shorten: I withdraw. I think we all know the question, Prime Minister. Will you guarantee at the very least that, because of your short-term budget, young Australians will not have to choose between going to university or being able to get a mortgage and own their own home in the future?
