Mr TAYLOR (Hume) (14:07): My question is to the Prime Minister. After three failed budgets, the Prime Minister has failed to tackle and beat inflation. Respected economist Chris Richardson has said: 'Governments have abandoned the field in the inflation fight. We are fighting the inflation fight one-handed,' and, 'Mortgage relief is a very, very long way away.' When will the Prime Minister admit his $315 billion spending spree is driving homegrown inflation and threatening further interest rate increases into the future? Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The Treasurer will just wait before he stands, before I call him. Mr Taylor interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! Member for Hume, you've asked your question. You have the MPI today. You've had a lot of latitude this week. We're going to make sure everyone is following the rules. The Treasurer has the call.
