My question is to the Prime Minister. Why is the Prime Minister still cutting $80 billion from schools and hospitals as outlined in his own budget overview? Does this not show that nothing of substance has changed and there is no reboot?

The member for Sydney will put down her prop.

These are the graphs, Madam Speaker, that show the cuts.

For the benefit of the member for Sydney, who asked the question, public hospital funding goes up nine per cent this year, nine per cent next year, nine per cent the year after that and six per cent in the final year. School funding goes up eight per cent this year, eight per cent next year, eight per cent the year after that and six per cent the year after that.

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker
The member for Sydney will put down her prop and listen in silence.
Tony Abbott Warringah, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
What the member for Sydney says is simply false. What we have done in respect of schools and hospitals is exactly what we promised before the election.
