My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the fact that the government is now borrowing more than $2 billion a week to fund its cash splash. Will the Treasurer advise the House how many recipients of the Rudd government’s $900 cash splash are backpackers, people living overseas, people in jail or people who are dead, and how many family pets are receiving the money? Treasurer, how can dead people and people in jail spend, spend, spend?
