I will take the interjection: Senator Brandis says, 'You don't know what our policy is.' Well, it sounds like you do not know. Are you repealing it or are you not? Are you funding it or are you repealing it? The reality is whenever this government has come to parliament with structural saves we have seen the opposition say, 'We don't agree with it.' With the private health insurance rebate, the opposition's position is that it is better to ensure we continue to provide a tax break to millionaires than to fund a whole range of other health programs. That is the position of the opposition. You have no credibility when it comes to long-term structural funding changes—no credibility whatsoever. The party that decried changes in the budget as 'class warfare', then came in with their tail between their legs and voted for some of these policies, has no credibility.(Time expired)
