Mr President, I ask a second supplementary question. Does the minister agree with Prime Minister Rudd’s comments made on 4 December 2008 that he believes that there is a strong economic case for budget belt-tightening to make the job of the Reserve Bank easier? If he does, why has the government not made the tough decisions to cut spending and reduce pressure on interest rates?
