I was going to give this question to the Treasurer, but the bit in the question about spending is just too much to resist. When we came to office, there was a $78 billion deficit projected and we turned that into a $22 billion surplus, and the following year we turned it into another $15 billion surplus. Those opposite were elected in 2013 with a commitment to do a surplus in the first year and every year thereafter.
