Senator JOYCE (Queensland—Leader of The Nationals in the Senate) (14:49): Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. If the government's finance minister does not know what the peak debt position will be in the coming year, if the government's finance minister does not know what the liquid reserves are in the coming year, if the government can put up an appropriation bill at any time during the current year, why on earth has the government asked us for a $300 billion ceiling?
