My question is to the Prime Minister. I remind the Prime Minister of the promise she made at a public forum three days before the last election when asked about Labor's commitment to return the budget to surplus:

… failure is not an option here and we won't fail.

If the Australian public could not trust the Prime Minister to keep this fundamental pre-election promise, why should they trust her to keep any promise she has made since?
