Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to his statement on 1 May this year when he said:

… our job is to produce a Budget which reinforces responsible economic management by producing a substantial surplus.

With the Prime Minister now admitting to driving the budget into deficit, isn’t he admitting to irresponsible economic management?
