Senator WONG ( South Australia — Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate and Minister for Finance and Deregulation ) ( 14:43 ): I think that was, dare I say it, a somewhat political question. Surprise, surprise for question time! I again make a couple of points. The first is: if those opposite want to be taken seriously on prudent economic decisions then perhaps they should tell the person who wants to be deputy prime minister—apart from Senator Joyce—that likening Australia's economic position to that of Greece is not a prudent economic decision. Perhaps they should also tell Mr Hockey that using an accounting firm that was found to have acted unprofessionally is not a prudent economic decision, and perhaps they should remind themselves that using a catering company to do their costings is also not a prudent economic decision. Senator Fifield: I rise on a point of order on relevance. My question was seeking the minister's guidance as to how she would describe the decision of the Treasurer? Given, by the governor's own definition, what the Treasurer did was not prudent, how would the minister described the Treasurer's decision? The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order. Senator WONG: I think in that point of order, Senator Fifield probably misquoted the Reserve Bank governor. He ought to be very careful about what he says in that regard. The point I would make is that the government always makes decisions that it believes are in the best interests of the Australian economy. (Time expired) Senator Fifield: Mr President, I seek leave to table the governor's foreword from the Reserve Bank of Australia's 2011 annual report, which does put in context the governor's use of the word 'prudent'. The PRESIDENT: Is leave granted? Senator Wong: Let's have a look at it. The PRESIDENT: Leave will be granted, I have been told, subject to the usual courtesy of the document that is being tabled being shown— Senator Fifield: I know it is embarrassing, but— The PRESIDENT: That is not the issue. I cannot make judgements on that. I am just saying that that is what has been said.
