I have heard those opposite talking about this $50 billion windfall that's hit the budget. I would say that is looking backwards as well, as the final budget outcome does. About $20 billion of the improvement to the budget bottom line was through lower payments or underspends. These were moneys that the previous government had committed to getting out the door in the last financial year, which they didn't get out the door.
