Senator CONROY (Victoria—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Digital Productivity) (14:06): The people of Western Sydney are going to be able to talk directly with the Prime Minister next week. Those opposite are engaged in cheap political stunts. What the Prime Minister will be able to— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I remind honourable senators that the appropriate time to debate the issue is at three o'clock. Senator CONROY: The Prime Minister will be able to talk to the people of Western Sydney about: an inflation rate of 2.2 per cent, well below the 10-year average of 2.8 per cent; a low cash rate, sitting at three per cent, lower than at any time under the last Liberal government; and an interest rate and a cash rate which are at a lower level than they were at any time under those opposite, who claim the mantle of economic rectitude falsely. We have very low debt. Net debt, as a percentage of the GDP, has peaked at one-tenth of the level across major advanced countries. (Time expired)
