The government will update its budgetary estimates in the usual way. This is necessary because of the policies that the opposition have pursued. I find it a particular irony that we now have a unity ticket between the most extreme right-wing opposition this country has seen, probably in its history, and of course the Greens. At least I can say this about the Greens: the Greens are at least fair dinkum about their policy position. You are an opposition bound by one thing only: political opportunism. The political opportunism is leading to people being drowned at sea.
