He says, ‘Wrong, wrong, wrong’ again. Why could you dispute the accuracy of the Howard government’s budget papers 2003-04—not a production of the Australian Labor Party in opposition, not the production of the tooth fairy but the production of the Howard government itself. It says in 2003-04 that the health budget had $108.9 million taken out of it. That was Tony Abbott’s first year as health minister. In 2004-05 $172 million was taken out of it. That was Tony Abbott’s second year as health minister.
