I invite Senator Brandis, after the budget is delivered, to be part of the leadership team on that side and tell Australians what their plan would be. We will lay out in the budget the choices we have made to protect jobs, to protect growth and to invest in great and important reforms for the country, like disability care and our schools reforms. We will lay those choices out. Some of them, I know, will be criticised by those opposite. But the difference between the government and the opposition is that we will tell Australians what those choices are. I can guarantee—and I hope you prove me wrong—that those opposite will try to hide their real plans from Australians all the way to the election, because they do not want to tell people what they would cut and how much they would cut to the bone.
