I am going to take the interjection from the leader of the Greens, who is saying: 'Oh really? You are not going there!' Unfortunately for the leader of the Greens, they have very little in terms of economic foresight, as well. No wonder the leader of the Greens is happy to sit there and go, 'Oh really, are you going to mention that?' It actually matters. It matters to understand why we are in the situation we are in. It matters to have some foresight and to be able to take the country forward. Perhaps Senator Di Natale could stop interjecting and maybe put some ideas and plans for some forward economic foresight, because we have not seen any yet.
It is most interesting that it is this side, this coalition government, that is going to make the economically responsible decisions for the future of this nation. The people out there across Australia compare and contrast. That is why they elected us in 2013—to fix the economic mess that Labor left us. For Labor to come in here and talk about future funding, the irony is gobsmacking. It is this coalition government that is going to lead the nation forward in a sustainable way and an economic way for the strength of the nation.
