My friend the member for Richmond took the words out of my mouth when she said, 'This is a budget that does nothing for middle- and working-class Australia.' I think that that is evidenced by the fact that, in my electorate of Greenway—and I have checked with my staff, I have checked through my emails and I have checked through my correspondence—I have barely heard a whimper from my constituents about this budget. I am very amused to hear that the Prime Minister is reportedly talking to the party room about the need to go out and sell this budget. I would like to know, firstly, who they are trying to sell it to.
