Mr Speaker, I ask a supplementary question. I refer to the Treasurer's statement that the coalition was reckless with its spending during its term of government. Treasurer, will you confirm that at no stage over the next four years will this government get spending as low as it was in the last year of the coalition, at 22.9 per cent of GDP?
