Referring to a story in the Sydney Morning Herald
More details to come.
From the SMH:
An Abbott government would let the federal deficit blow out rather than break a spending promise, Tony Abbott says.
Asked what he would do if faced with a choice between honouring his spending commitments and keeping his pledge to return the budget to surplus, Mr Abbott told Fairfax Media in an interview: ”You’ll notice we haven’t said we’re going to get to a surplus by a particular date.”
I wrote yesterday on the difference in dealing with the budget deficit between the two sides in the election (i.e. there basically is none)
Abbott is one track to convincingly win Saturday’s Australian election
