The commitment that I can give Senator Di Natale and the chamber today is that the government is working very hard to build a stronger economy, to create more jobs and to repair the budget mess that we have inherited from the previous government. I am not going to announce here today our next budget, and no doubt Senator Di Natale would not expect us to do so. Our commitment is a stronger economy, more jobs and repairing the budget mess that we have inherited from the Labor Party with the support of the Greens. Of course, the budget will be released, in the usual course of events, on the second Tuesday in May. I commend Senator Di Natale to it.
