This is a financial assistance bill. You guys know how to spend money—29 per cent of GDP this year. You are the biggest spending government in Australia’s history. The Rudd Labor government is the biggest spending government in modern Australian history—29 per cent of GDP. No wonder the Parliamentary Secretary for Pacific Island Affairs, who is at the table, does not want to talk about expenditure. This is a financial assistance bill.
