I know those over there find it hilarious. The party of robodebt find this question hilarious. That is how disrespectful you are about people on income support payments. We saw it when you were in government. We saw it when you threatened people with jail for debts they didn't earn.

Senator Cash, do you remember that? You would have been sitting around the cabinet table. On the issue of allocation of budget funding, a significant proportion is, as appropriate, provided in income support payments through Services Australia, whether it be JobSeeker, the family tax payment, the single parenting payment or the age pension—all of those. The allocation for the Defence budget is smaller than that. Our priority is the Australian people.
