I thank Senator Hume for the question. I stand so proudly here to back the speech of the Treasurer last night and the work that's been done throughout the entire caucus focused on making sure we can provide cost-of-living help to households while they need it and that we're able to deliver budget repair—two surpluses, remember that, Senator Hume; I know you'd like to gloss over it—and also look to the future. I know you want to ignore the fact that this budget sees the biggest nominal improvement in a budget in a first term of any government ever. That's $207 billion lower debt in the order of $177 billion.
