May I truly extend my congratulations to you, Mr President, on your election to the presidency today and to Senator Ferguson as the Deputy President. My question is to Senator Conroy, the Minister representing the Treasurer. Is the minister aware of threats to block key budget measures? Can the minister outline to the Senate the impact of these plans on the budget strategy of fighting inflation and putting downward pressure on interest rates?
