My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to his previous budget related statement, that Labor is committed to 'bringing the budget back to surplus, and we are absolutely going to see the creation of over 500,000 jobs in the next couple of years'. Given that the Treasurer has to create 70,000 jobs a month by June to honour that promise, should Australians start preparing for yet another broken promise like the 'come hell or high water' guaranteed surplus?
