The Opposition would deliver at least a $9 billion deficit in 2012-13, based on their commitments to date.
Despite Mr Hockeys assurances that the Oppositions costings have been finalised, they refuse to release them and this is why.
Weve done their numbers because its important Australians know just what Tony Abbott would do to the budget.
The Government is determined to deliver a surplus and we've set out our plan for how we will deliver it in 2012-13.
Meanwhile, the Opposition continues to confuse Australians by changing their position on whether theyd deliver a budget surplus, and they still refuse to explain their $70 billion budget black hole.
Its time for Tony Abbott to stop the slogans and the stunts and for the Opposition to be up front with Australians.
