QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Leader of the Nationals in the Senate) (14:23): Let's see if we can get the minister to respond to the Reserve Bank governor's concerns. Minister, last week, the Reserve Bank governor stated: Fiscal policy has many more things that it can do. But it has to be careful… It can't… just go out there and just add to demand.

Why is your government ignoring that warning and using every lever to add more pressure to our economy?
