Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to last Wednesday’s government forecast of two per cent economic growth for this financial year. I also refer the Prime Minister to the IMF forecast two days later of 1.8 per cent growth. Given that the Reserve Bank today stated that it expects economic growth to be only 1.5 per cent and the Treasurer has stated from Brazil that ‘the slowing in growth will be more dramatic’, Prime Minister, which growth projection is the most accurate?
