My question is to the Treasurer. I refer to the Treasurer’s last answer on prudent economic and financial management. I also refer to the Treasurer’s complaints in a recently published book that the Prime Minister ‘was a failure as Treasurer in the early 1980s’ and ‘has caused the government to seriously overspend to buy elections’. Has the Treasurer sat down with the Prime Minister—perhaps over dinner at Kirribilli—to discuss the substance of these allegations?
