Senator SINGH (Tasmania) (14:13): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Evans. Can the minister advise the Senate how international economic conditions are impacting on the government's plan to return the budget to surplus in 2012-13? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I will give the minister the call when there is silence. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! If both sides wish to debate this, the time is after question time.
