I am talking about the Infrastructure Fund, the future building fund that has no governance and no investment or management criteria over it at all. So this government’s plan is to return the unions, front and centre, to power in the workplace—they already have power within the Labor government—and, of course, to get themselves re-elected.

This budget is a failure. From here on it will be catch-up football. They have now spelt out the type of government they are going to be and it is a great disappointment that they conned the Australian people to get into government. (Time expired)
