This government has put forward forecasts in the budget that haven't lasted a month, has spent money that it hasn't accounted for, just a month ago, and although the Treasurer told Australians in October that inflation was public enemy No. 1 and the dragon we needed to slay, prices have continued to rise unabated. Minister, how can Australians trust this government and what it says about the economy when its own budget is so out of date just one month after it was delivered?
