I thank Senator Cameron for the question. This is a government that understands the importance of fiscal discipline, particularly when we know over the medium term that the economy will be nearing capacity. It is sensible for a government to ensure that it brings the budget back into surplus and that is why the government is putting in place the fiscal strategy that has been announced. I am very interested to notice the interests of the opposition on this because on this issue they are all talk and no action.
