This is the mob that wanted a tax on every single time that you went to the doctor.

But I'm asked by the deputy leader about our budget. My attention was drawn towards a quite extraordinary comment by the deputy Liberal leader. She said this about the RBA minutes: 'It sounds to me as if they are sounding alarm bells on this budget.' There's only one problem with that: the meeting was the week before the budget. So the RBA governor, apparently, is Nostradamus. It says everything about their catastrophic nonsense, where they carry on with: 'Everything is a catastrophe. Everything's a disaster. Everything's going to go wrong on their watch.' They have nothing constructive to add. But the only person who was more pleased and chuckling about that comment by the Deputy Leader of the Opposition was the bloke who's sitting there.
