speckman, I don't support lies from any politician, including Labor. How about you?
Do a little research and see if you can find anything to support Hockey's claim of $33b in 11 weeks.
The facts you will find is that 11 weeks after the release of the budget update, Treasury wrote down expected revenue by $12b.
moondoong, in the opening post, it is claimed Hockey is basing his reason for raising the debt ceiling "because the budget under Labor deteriorated by $33 billion in 11 weeks".
The $33 billion in 11 weeks is a lie.
So Hockey's honesty or competency is relevant to the debt ceiling and the thread.
