My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. Yesterday the Queensland budget confirmed a $16 billion cut from Queensland schools and hospitals, stating:

The most significant Federal change was an $80 billion funding cut to all States for schools and hospitals. This is a massive cost shift by the Commonwealth.

Acting Prime Minister, given the Queensland government has identified the problem, why does this government still ask, 'Where is the problem'?
