The Prime Minister said in May of 2014, 'Every day in the lead up to the last election, I said to people that we were going to get deficit under control. But on page 317 of the Prime Minister's Budget Paper No. 1, the deficit has doubled from $17 billion to $35 billion in the last 12 months. Prime Minister, is this page correct? Has the deficit doubled under your watch in the last 12 months?
