My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that the costs of implementing his second stimulus package will total $227 million? Can he also confirm that advertising and communications costs will total $46 million? Can the Prime Minister confirm that, as the country confronts the risk of a Rudd recession, he is making matters worse by spending $273 million on advertising and implementation costs?
Kevin Rudd Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister
What you love about the opposition’s tactics committee is that they never listen to the answer to the previous question, which went to the absolute rorting of government advertising by the previous government. The member for Mitchell should hang his head in shame.
