What the Australian people will see in this budget is targeted cost-of-living relief. This will help those that are most vulnerable. Are you opposed to that? Are you opposed to those investments? It sounds like you are. It will deliver historic investments in Medicare and aged care. Are you opposed to that? It sounds like you're opposed to that. There will be a wage increase for aged-care workers. Are you opposed to that too? That's in the budget. It sounds like you are opposed to it. It will grow the economy in skills and in small business for renewables. It sounds like you're opposed to that as well. It will strengthen the budget surplus and clean up the mess that we inherited. There was $11.5 billion in legacy funding pressures that were just going to tip of a cliff. There is $17.8 billion in savings in this budget. We're borrowing less. We're paying less interest. We've forecast a surplus this financial year, and you're opposed to that. (Time expired)
