Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:57): Mr President, I will take the interjection about jokes if the opposition want, because the joke is Mr Hockey and Mr Robb. When it comes to the surplus, Mr Hockey said 'we'll deliver it a year earlier', and then Mr Robb said 'actually, we do not know if we can deliver it in the first term of a Liberal government'. They cannot even tell the Australian people whether they could deliver a surplus in the first term of a Liberal government. This is extraordinary—all this chest beating about economic responsibility! One wonders what happened in shadow cabinet. If this is in fact a considered position, what happened? Did Mr Robb get rolled? Did Mr Hockey get rolled? Did Senator Cormann get rolled? Or did they not even have the wherewithal to argue the right policy position? Perhaps Senator Sinodinos would have done a better job than the current lot. (Time expired)
