Senator MASON (Queensland) (14:48): On another supplementary question, given that Queensland Labor debt is set to nearly quadruple, from $21 million in $2004 to $85 billion by 2014, all at a time of a mining boom, and that it took the Rudd-Gillard government only a third of the time to amass nearly 1½ times as much debt as it took the Hawke-Keating government, will the minister apologise to Australians for Labor's appalling economic management? The PRESIDENT: The minister need only address that part of the question that refers to the portfolio.
