I rise to speak on this matter of public importance regarding the economic leadership of the Treasurer, and do so with great pleasure. I thank the member for Fraser for that contribution—but I am not quite sure what topic he was talking about there, because the MPI is in relation to the Treasurer. It was totally off topic. We on this side of the House are very committed to a stronger economy. We are committed to running a surplus and committed to providing more jobs. I know that is foreign to the members opposite, particularly to the member for McMahon and the member for Rankin, who were responsible, with the member for Lilley, for something like six record budget deficits, year in, year out.
