I thank the member very much for her question. I thank her for the work that she is doing, in particular, with FASD. She is very mindful of the threat of alcohol to parents and the dangers of the consumption of alcohol, particularly during the stages of pregnancy and especially in Indigenous communities. She is to be commended for that work.

In this budget, we have provided a way forward for the Australian community to continue to enjoy a sustainable Medicare system for decades ahead. But the Labor Party, as the Prime Minister pointed out before, live in this fairyland where, on the one hand, they are promising another $16 billion for the foreign aid budget in this country. They have no idea where that money will come from. They are promising to slug Australian families when it comes the continuation of the carbon tax.
