My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. The Prime Minister's budget has cut $80 billion from schools and hospitals. It has cut family benefits and cut pensions. It will make people pay more to go to the doctor and more to fill up their cars with petrol. Why have government ministers spent all week undermining each other rather than tackling this budget of broken promises?

I rise on a point of order, Madam Speaker.

The Leader of the House will resume his seat. I am sorry; there is no question there to be answered for which the Acting Prime Minister has any responsibility. We will move on to the next question.
