Mr MORRISON (Cook—Prime Minister and Minister for the Public Service) (15:10): Let me quote from the Reserve Bank governor on 9 August, at the House Standing Committee on Economics: … if the economy is not doing well and the global economy is not doing well, we need all arms of public policy to support the Australian economy. But that's not a call for the government to do more now. That's what he said. He went on: I just want to be clear about that. He also said: Can I just clarify something: I have not called on the government to do fiscal expansion. I am quoting the Governor of the Reserve Bank giving evidence—not some chat to a journalist but evidence—to the House economics committee. He said: … I have not called on the government to do fiscal expansion. In fact, on 11 July, he said: I agree 100 per cent with you that the Australian economy is growing and the fundamentals are strong. That's what he said. He went on: But I don't think we should forget that more Australians have jobs today than ever before— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will resume his seat. The Leader of the Opposition on a point of order? Mr Albanese: Mr Speaker, on relevance: perhaps the Prime Minister missed the weekend's publications, where the Reserve Bank governor called upon you to— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat. That point of order raised matters not raised in the question. The Leader of the Opposition shouldn't raise those. Mr MORRISON: I think the Reserve Bank, on the evidence before the parliamentary committee, has been very clear. Others might want to verbal what it all means, but what I know is that I've been working with the Reserve Bank governor, as both a Treasurer and a Prime Minister, for four years, and it is as a result of the Reserve Bank governor's suggestions to us many years ago about the need to move on infrastructure that we have the $100 billion infrastructure pipeline that has been in the budget since April of this year and has featured in previous budgets. I know those opposite, if they had the opportunity—if they had won the election—would be spending, spending, spending, and that's only because they would have been taxing, taxing, taxing. The first whiff of a surplus, and the Labor Party would blow it all in a heartbeat. By contrast, my government is showing sober, cautious, disciplined financial management, to ensure we both achieve the first surplus in 12 years and deliver on the $100 billion infrastructure program and on the tax cuts that we promised to Australians and that we've achieved in this parliament, which those opposite fought tooth and nail to try and stop. We heard a little earlier today that apparently we're not going to find out what the policies of those opposite are until 2022. You'll need a time machine to find out their policies, Mr Speaker, but, whether you go backwards or forwards, they'll all equate to economic irresponsibility. The SPEAKER: The member for Ballarat is seeking to table a document? Ms Catherine King: I seek leave to table a document that shows that the Reserve Bank governor has called seven times since the election, and spoken 17 times since he became governor, for increased infrastructure spending from the government. Leave not granted.
