Resume your seat. I don't know what the quotes were. You're right; the question contained quotes, and at the end of the question was 'why are Australians paying the price for this government's wrong priorities?' I'm assuming that the Prime Minister doesn't agree with that premise, and he's arguing why and delivering quotes to support that.

You just said the question did contain quotes. I don't know what those quotes were, so, if it's context you're after, the Prime Minister is answering the end part of the actual question, regarding information regarding the budget. It was such a broad question at the end that he's entitled to do that. I think everyone can agree on that. The Prime Minister has the call.
