Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The extra $30 billion was totally unexpected by just about everyone. Every extra dollar spent on the military-industrial complex is a dollar that needs to be funded. The Treasurer has previously stated that his budget rule is that any new spending must be fully offset with savings. What programs is this government going to cut to make up for the $30 billion in defence? Will it be more cuts to health or education? Will it be more cuts to crucial environment and climate programs?
