It's a shame you can't rewrite your supplementary questions in light of the answer I just gave. In that press conference we were asked about a range of programs, and we are reviewing all of them. We are reviewing every single measure in the budget, but there are a range of measures that we matched. The work we are doing is to make sure that the money that was allocated is the right amount of money to go to that program because, forgive us over here, some of your budgeting was pretty dodgy, to be honest.

We are a grown-up government where ministers do their jobs. We don't have a Prime Minister taking responsibility for every portfolio and making decisions based on apparently nothing. We want the evidence and we want the assessment. The ERC, as a collective, will make decisions based on that.
