My question is to the Prime Minister. The finance minister has said tax cuts for the top 20 per cent of income earners would go ahead even if another GFC hits. Given gross debt under this Prime Minister has blown out to a record half a trillion dollars and he has already made savage cuts, won't this just mean that, if a downturn hits, this government will again cut schools, Medicare and pensions?
