I know an old socialist like you, Senator Cameron, tends to be a little bit out of date but, rather than talk about the 2014 budget, why don't you get a little bit more contemporary and talk about the 2017 budget, the Turnbull government's budget?

Under the Turnbull government's 2017 budget, we invested an additional $375.3 million over three years into homelessness services. Senator Cameron, if you chastise us for, in a budget three years ago, cutting that amount from homelessness services, why don't you congratulate the government in the most recent budget, the 2017 budget, by increasing homelessness services by $375.3 million?
