I give the call to the Treasurer in continuation.

That break was actually useful. It was a good opportunity to clean up the little shards of the opposition leader's glass jaw over there—another display of extreme weakness and extreme sookiness from the Leader of the Opposition.

The point that I was making before I was so rudely interrupted is that we are providing cost-of-living relief that they don't support, we are delivering surpluses that they couldn't deliver in nine attempts, and we're providing responsible economic management that they can't even be bothered asking about in the question time of the people's house of the national parliament. They stir chaos and conflict because they have no costed policies, they have no economic credibility and they won't tell the Australian people why they don't support cost-of-living relief, but they do have $315 billion in secret cuts, and they need to tell us what that means for Medicare, what it means for pensions and what it means for the economy.

Having just wasted time with that previous motion by the Leader of the Opposition, I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
