Madam Speaker, my question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to his answer in the House last week that it is not possible to say how much the budget deficit had been blown out as a result of his changes to economic forecasts in the outlook. I also refer the Treasurer to pages 29 and 30 of the outlook, which actually show a $5.7 billion blow-out driven by his changes to assumptions. Why has the Treasurer not come into the House to correct his mistake?
