Thank you very, very much. This government has stabilised our overseas development assistance budget; we've actually increased it. We are maintaining our overseas development assistance budget at about $4 billion over the next two years.

Senator Wong interjecting—

It's all very well, Senator Wong, for you to bleat. You issue press releases about increasing aid, but where are you going to get the money from? But, of course, you are raiding the pockets of pensioners and retirees. That's where you're going to get the money from.
