I thank the shadow Treasurer for his question. The Treasurer, though, is very disappointed. You're on question 1. He thought this was the moment, and it still didn't happen! The shadow Treasurer is up there, having been part of the government that presided over the highest quarterly inflation increase this century of 2.1 per cent. He also decided, while that was happening, to bring down a budget that splashed money everywhere and projected, of course, a $78 billion surplus—unlike what this government has done, which is to produce a budget under this Treasurer that projects a $4.2 billion increase.
