I can understand why they want to interrupt. Their shadow Treasurer has given the most embarrassing performance that an opposition has given in a very long time. This is a shadow Treasurer who says he wants to bring the budget back to surplus earlier, who says there are not enough tough savings and now has opposed at least two or three of the saves. How is it possible that you can come back to surplus and oppose savings measures? Perhaps the opposition should have a think about that.
