Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:20): I am asked about belief. I am asked about the belief of the Australian people— Senator Ian Macdonald interjecting— Senator WONG: No, that was part of the question. I want to make this point: the Australian people know— Senator Fierravanti-Wells: You were asked about integrity and lying. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! When senators are silent we will proceed. Senator WONG: Thank you, Mr President. I think the Australian people know which party was determined to protect jobs and the economy and which party sought to play politics with it. I think it is extraordinary that those opposite seek to pretend that the global financial crisis never happened. We know in this country we have come through that because we have worked together. Because of the actions of government, the decisions of business, the decisions of workers, we have come through the GFC in a far stronger position than any other advanced economy. And we are projected to grow faster than any other advanced economy next year. The only people who do not like it are those opposite. The only ones who do not like the fact that we have growth, low unemployment and low interest rates are those opposite. (Time expired)
