I'm not about to accept a lecture from those opposite about women and services for women. If you look in this budget, it is a good budget for women. If you read budget paper 2, page 143, you will see that we have delivered on the commitments we've made. Indeed—surprise, surprise!—we are going to also do some work on evaluation of initiatives to make sure they are delivering the support to the communities that those programs are intended for, and that is good, responsible budgeting. That is exactly the approach I will take as finance minister. We deliver on things. We also evaluate to make sure they are delivering the support and the programs that are intended by those measures.
