I thank her for the supplementary question. What I take from that is that you do not support estimates variations to pensions and payments. If you use that figure, that is what you are saying. If you don't support Indigenous housing—that's what I hear from that: that you don't support super on PPL and that you're not backing in the critical minerals industry. Is that what you're saying? That is the implication from the question that you ask.

Now, I know it kills you that we delivered the surplus. I know it kills you that we are more fiscally responsible and that we are managing the economy better. I know all of that really irritates you, but the reality is we are sticking to the fiscal plan that we outlined when we got elected. We are making responsible decisions. We're investing where we can, we're making savings where we can and we're reducing our debt burden. That is what any responsible government would do.
