My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to data released today: the Dun & Bradstreet business expectations survey, which says 27 per cent of firms now plan to sack workers; the National Australia Bank monthly survey, which says business conditions have fallen to a low not seen since 1992; and the ANZ job ads survey, which fell 10.4 per cent in February, the biggest monthly fall since the series began. Prime Minister, as the buck stops with you, when will you take responsibility for the failure of the pre-Christmas $10 billion cash splash?
