I can confirm the figures which are set out in the government's budget papers and I can also confirm that over some five budgets we have experienced a revenue write-down of $150 billion. Notwithstanding that, the Treasurer has delivered a budget which will return the budget to surplus on time as promised. The difference between this side of politics and that is a number of things. One is our values. We are delivering for low-income and middle-income Australians. They are standing up for wealthy miners.
