You mentioned in your opening statement that your members are concerned about the government's overall spending: that it is running never-ending deficits and that it cut loose its fiscal anchors that are supposed to prevent it from excessive borrowing.
What do you make of this last budget that is...? Today we're talking about the next budget, but the last one contained just an enormous and unexpected jump in the level of borrowing and the level of deficit spending. It failed to deliver many of the commitments, or at least hints, that they made during the election campaign and before about reining in the size and scale of government.
What are your expectations, and what are some more concrete recommendations that you can make for this government for the next budget?
