Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:49): The economy is at a place where we see unemployment with a five in front of it, we see inflation in the target band of the Reserve Bank, we see continued growth in mining investments notwithstanding the scare campaign by those opposite— The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong resume your seat. There are interjections on my left which are making it very difficult to hear the answer. Order! Senator WONG: We have a situation where, despite what has occurred globally, we have an economy that is continuing to grow, unemployment with a five in front of it and inflation in the target band, and those opposite want to pretend that everything is going down the toilet. It is just the most ridiculous position. This is from an opposition that has never once got its costings right. The economic team of the coalition have never got their costings right. Who can forget Senator Sinodinos saying that there is a lot of untidiness over there when it comes to your budget position! Honourable senators interjecting— Senator Cormann: You never once got your budget right! The PRESIDENT: Order! It is very difficult to hear the answer when people on both sides are interjecting. The time to debate this issue is after question time. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I remind honourable senators that the time to debate this is after question time.
