I presume that Senator Colbeck is referring to the Australian Financial Review article. As you know, the BPORs, the budget process operational rules, are released after each economic update or budget. That is a commitment of transparency that we put in place. They are available online on the Finance website. In relation to future budget processes, we will release them in accordance with the way that we have done after the first three.

We run a very tight budget process. Prime ministerial approval is sought to provide authority for proposals to come forward, and nothing has changed in that regard.
