FED:Coalition would push economy to recession,

Greens leader BOB BROWN says a coalition government would push the economy into recession
if it pursued tens of millions of dollars in spending cuts.

Senator BROWN says there'd be an impact on a million small businesses if the cuts went
ahead, and he's demanded the opposition submit its policies to Treasury for costing.

Internal coalition documents show the opposition's promise to axe Labor's planned carbon
and mining taxes and implement other promises would leave a 70 billion dollar budget shortfall.
