Name the savings measures that have been put forward—put them on the table. This strategy was announced on the very day that they knocked over a savings measure in the Senate worth $9.5 billion over 10 years. They have the hide to come into this House and lecture us about fiscal policy and knock over essential savings as part of a medium-term fiscal strategy in the Senate. I think the member for North Sydney must have had a terrible morning this morning. He would have got up, he would have opened his paper and the first deadline he would have seen is ‘Hockey vows to slash 14 billion’. Of course, we now know it was $50 billion, not $14 billion. A big headline this morning was ‘Hockey vows to slash 14 billion’.
