My question is to the Minister for Finance, Senator Gallagher. The announcement this morning that the government will break bipartisan consensus on the Future Fund and direct it to invest in the government's political agenda is gravely concerning. Former chair of the Future Fund David Murray said that this change will lead to boondoggle budgeting. Why is the Albanese government robbing Australia's sovereign wealth fund to prop up Labor's priorities, which just so happen to align with the policy areas in which you are failing?
