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.
