Mr PYNE (Sturt—Manager of Opposition Business) (15:08): I refer the Prime Minister to the question she was asked by David Speers at the Brisbane community forum: if you do not get the budget back into surplus in three years, what happens? The Prime Minister responded: It's happening, David. Failure is not an option. Mr Speers then asked: If it doesn't? To which the Prime Minister replied: Well, failure is not an option here and we won't fail. Prime Minister, was that promise as believable as your promise that 'there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead'?
