Toxic indeed, absolutely toxic. That is all that is driving them. We have got massive mismanagement.

In conclusion, budgets are about priorities and this government's priorities are all wrong. As I said, our priorities are based on better funding and fairer funding for schools and hospitals and families, and on proper budget reform of negative gearing and capital gains tax. It is certainly in contrast to the government's only commitment—a $50 billion tax cut to multinationals.

I started out talking about the parallel universe the member for Petrie was talking about because it now looks like the government are in so much chaos they may be shelving some of these reforms. I do not think they even know what they are doing. They could not answer in question time and tell us what was going on. Nobody seems to know what is going on in this show, and the chaos continues. We on this side have many concerns about this bill, as I have raised today.
