My question is to the Treasurer. Does the Treasurer stand by the accuracy of all the facts and figures and charts in his economic note of 9 May which is being used by the Prime Minister, the Treasurer and some commentators to justify the new mining tax?
Wayne Swan Lilley, Australian Labor Party, Treasurer
Well, to be questioned on figures by sloppy Joe over there is something quite extraordinary.
Harry Jenkins Speaker
Order! The Treasurer will refer to members by their titles.
Wayne Swan Lilley, Australian Labor Party, Treasurer
I stand by the economic note.
