that the Liberal Party has got itself into a situation where it is $70 billion behind the starting line. Before it can even get to the starting line where the government is, it needs to find $70 billion of savings.

Can I say to the opposition: rather than come and scream abuse, maybe they should start producing some savings to fill that $70 billion crater.
