Ratings agency Standard & Poor's has today warned that Australia's AAA credit rating will be at risk unless the Treasurer stands by his commitment to a surplus in 2021, a commitment which is in the Treasurer's own budget papers that bear his name. With his chaotic management of the budget, does the Treasurer take any responsibility for placing Australia's AAA rating at risk?
