Does it not concern you, Minister, that you are potentially signing taxpayers up to many billions of dollars as a result of supporting these crossbenchers, because you don't know what the cost is? You say we should wait for the budget update, but today's the day when you're about to put people on the hook. If we're about to see the parliament deliver tens of billions of dollars of taxpayers' funds to a very small number of people, I would have thought we were entitled to know that.
