My question is addressed to the Treasurer, and I refer to my question to the Treasurer yesterday about Australia’s two-speed economy. Given the budget cuts proposed by the government, what measures is the Treasurer considering to ensure the impact on Australian families is not disproportionately severe in states such as New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, where economic growth last financial year was well below average and considerably less than the rate of growth in the mining boom states of Queensland and Western Australia?
