After listening to the member for Fairfax, I have one question: what are you going to cut, mate? The member for Fairfax has spoken again and again about the budget. The member for Fairfax has said that those opposite are an alternative government. The member for Fairfax has said that he rejects the economic approach this government is taking and that the budget needs to change. If that's the case, he needs to stump up, he needs to front up and he needs to tell the Australian people what he is going to cut.

How do we know this is a coalition that cuts? It's because they cannot help themselves. It's because this is what they do year in, year out. It's in their DNA, and we have seen cut after cut.
