Senate debates Questions without Notice

Budget

Penny Wong SA, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition in the Senate

My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Abetz. I refer to the centrepiece of the budget, an $80 billion cut to hospitals and schools, and to the Prime Minister's pre-election promise that there would be no cuts to health and no cuts to education. I also refer to New South Wales Premier Mike Baird, who said the funding cuts are 'a kick in the guts'. Is Premier Baird right?
