to move:

That the House expresses its concern that:

(1)
the Government will increase the national public debt by 2013 to an unprecedented $315 billion;
(2)
the Government’s interest bill on this debt, as yet undisclosed, will be a continuing burden on Australian families for future generations;
(3)
despite claims that the Government will pay off its debt by 2022, the Government has refused to provide any modelling to substantiate this claim; and
(4)
the high level of Government borrowing will place an ongoing and upward pressure on interest rates for Australian families.
