I rise to address the issue of debt. I particularly want to talk about the fact that the Leader of the Opposition, the Hon. Malcolm Turnbull, has been saying that he does not want to look into the eyes of future generations and tell them that they plunged the country into debt. Let me say that no government plunged this nation into further debt—it was massive debt—than the Howard government.
