My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to comments in today's Geelong Advertiser from a local Liberal party official. I quote: 'Tony Abbott was a poison. He was absolutely toxic throughout the campaign. What with talk about the GST, cuts to the ABC and the petrol tax—petrol for Godsakes—it is something that hits every mum and dad out there.' Will the Prime Minister now admit that Victorians and all Australians have comprehensively rejected his unfair budget?

Members opposite can certainly reprosecute the Victorian election campaign if they wish, but I am determined to deliver on the commitments that I made to the Australian people.

There will be silence from my left, including from the member for Hotham.

Let's go through it: the carbon tax repeal was delivered, the mining tax repeal was delivered, border security was delivered, free-trade agreements were delivered, a one-stop shop for environmental approvals was delivered, massive reductions in red tape costs were delivered and the budget repair is absolutely underway. This is a government that is determined to deliver for the people of Australia. That is what we are doing, that is what they expected of us and that is what we are delivering upon.
