So I'm sure that when the member for Herbert returns to Townsville on the weekend he'll be able to say: 'I'm sorry, constituents, that I voted against the Energy Price Relief Plan that's making a difference, but I do recognise what a fantastic job the Palaszczuk government is doing.' They've used some of the revenues as well—again, things opposed by those opposite. As a result of the windfall gains that are there because of global energy prices, Queensland have produced the largest budget surplus of any state government anywhere since Federation. But of course they don't recognise something called a surplus over there, just like they didn't recognise the projected surplus from our Treasurer, who can't even get a question about the budget that he brought down a month ago.
