My question is to the Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Senator Wong. Given that under a Labor state government Queensland's public debt is projected to peak at $85 billion by 2014—over $18,000 per Queenslander—and under a federal Labor government Australia's public debt is $132 billion—over $6,000 per Australian—will the minister confirm that every man, woman and child in Queensland could have bought a brand-new Holden Cruze, Mazda3, or Toyota Corolla instead of having to pay off their share of Labor's debt?
