My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to mistakes explaining the budget made by the Treasurer, by the Minister for Education, by the Minister for Industry, by the Minister for Social Services and by the Prime Minister himself. If the Prime Minister and his cabinet cannot get it right, how will they ever understand how much their budget of broken promises is hurting real Australian families?

It is so typical—

There are three of them behind you.

The member for Jagajaga will desist. The Prime Minister has the call.

It is so typical, I regret to say, of this opposition leader—

So typical for this government to get it so wrong.

and this opposition that they have a political critique but not an economic critique. The reason for that is that this budget is a serious attempt to address the economic disaster that members opposite created. This budget is a real plan, a real economic action strategy, to deal with the predicament that this country faces as a result of six years of incompetence and dishonesty from members opposite. We have a plan for the future of our country. All the Leader of the Opposition has is one long complaint—no solutions; all complaint. That is why the people of Australia can trust this government.

I ask that further questions be placed on the Notice Paper.
