We cannot wait to see how much more he is going to cut. If he thinks we have not cut enough, he is now confirming that he is going to cut a lot more. Of course he has got to confirm tomorrow night what they are going to save in the budget to pay for the pension increase. That is a very big task that is building up for the shadow Treasurer. But as I said before, in the 2009-10 budget there are savings of $22.7 billion. In 2008-09 budget there were savings over four years of $33 billion. That is a very substantial effort.
