Thank you, Mr President. My question is to the Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Senator Wong. Can the minister outline to the Senate what steps the government is taking to enhance the capacity of the Parliamentary Budget Office to assist parties with costing of their policies? Why is it important to take action to improve the ability of parties to properly cost policies?
