I direct my question to Minister Cormann, representing the Treasurer. Considering that yesterday the Treasurer stated on Sky News that, 'the most significant individual item in the budget is a savings measure, it's a reduction in foreign aid.' Considering that the differential of any money allocated for a department that is not spent goes back into consolidated revenue, do you plan to make savings from the aid budget by slowing down expenditure on overseas aid programs? If so, which parts of the overseas aid program will experience reduced expenditure?
