My question is to the Treasurer. Can the Treasurer confirm that, since the election, the government has downgraded its own forecasts for growth, the IMF and OECD have downgraded Australia's growth forecasts more than those of other advanced economies, and the Reserve Bank has downgraded its forecast for growth three times? Why has the government refused to provide support to an economy that was already floundering even before the bushfires and coronavirus hit?
