Indeed, indeed. But they have to take into consideration that it includes health. It also includes the fact that $115 million was taken across that budget. It does not include $54-odd million in cuts to come from the department. It is okay for them to try to lecture me about the frontline and the headline, but it is not reasonable to continue to frighten the public and to frighten Aboriginal and Islander people about a disingenuous approach. We know we can confidently make a modest contribution to repairing the terrible budget left by those on the other side. I know that Aboriginal and Islander people are behind us on those measures.
