Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I note that I did not get a clear answer as to whether they are cutting it and how. I refer to the government's previous expenditure cuts such as cuts to single parents and family payments, pushing people off the disability support pension and attempts to push young people off income support for six months. Will the government rule out making cuts to our social safety net?
