Senator Minchin scoffs at $1.5 billion, but that is just the impact in this financial year. The ongoing impact would be $6.2 billion off the budget over the next four years. Senator Minchin continues to interject and shout and try to make the argument that this is of no consequence to the Liberal opposition. He just shrugs his shoulders—$6.2 billion off the budget surplus. It is of no consequence to Senator Minchin and the irresponsible Liberal Party vandals who are attempting to substantially reduce the budget surplus.
