Senator, I have to point out to you that the government has given a very high priority to families. I made the point to you yesterday that the best friend families have had in relation to federal governments is our government. If you feel that the welfare measures announced in this budget are not up to Labor Party expectations and that the Labor Party can go further, what we will do is look very closely at what Mr Beazley will announce in the budget reply tonight.
