gillard confirms surplus in 2013, page-41

Govt always borrow and spend money, don't think they ever stop do they.

Stimulus funding has finished, other than paying of those projects yet to be completed.

Can't pull the pin half way through and say, geez we did better than we expected, so bad luck to those who haven't finished, you've missed the boat.

Govt is pulling back on spending (announced $3.4b cuts today), the private sector is picking up slowly and the RBA (and the Commonwealth) are doing their part to ensure growth remains sustainable. (3.75% is hardly overheating)
