My question is to the Treasurer and refers to his earlier answer. Why won't the Treasurer admit that, since he took over, economic growth has almost halved, wages growth has stalled, consumption growth has weakened, business investment and productivity have declined, underemployment has increased and government debt and household debt have reached new record highs, and that all of this happened before the fires and the coronavirus hit?
