My question is to the Treasurer. Does the Treasurer stand by his budget forecast of six years of above trend growth from 2011?

I thank the shadow Treasurer for his question. The government’s forecasts will be updated in the usual way in the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook. That happens at the end of every year, and I will be delighted to provide them to him at that time.
