My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the fact that, under Labor, Australia was given a AAA credit rating from each of the three major ratings agencies. Treasurer, will Australia still have three AAA ratings from these agencies at the end of this term of government?

I certainly hope so, because we were the ones that got the AAA rating in the first place.
