My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister’s and the Treasurer’s repeated claims to have built the surplus. Does the Prime Minister agree that the government’s ability to make the payments announced today are in large measure due to the coalition government having paid off $96 billion of debt, established the Future Fund and, year after year, run budgets in substantial surplus?
