Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:27): I think today the opposition is proving it can bellow but it cannot budget. What we are going to hear from the opposition is lots of bellowing but what they will not do during any point of this question time or any day between now and the 2013 campaign is promise that they will get their figures properly checked by Treasury. Eleven billion dollars out the back door in the election campaign in 2010— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will resume her seat. The Manager of Opposition Business will resume his seat. The Prime Minister has the call and will refer to the question before the chair. Ms GILLARD: I am asked about budgeting and how you make sure that you are making the right choices to return the budget to surplus. I am indicating that as a government we are determined to make the right choices. We are determined to go through the proper processes. Mr Pyne: Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The Prime Minister cannot redefine the question. She was asked if they are still committed to a $1½ billion surplus this financial year in light of Standard & Poor's damning assessment of their budget. The DEPUTY SPEAKER: The Prime Minister has the call. Ms GILLARD: I am indicating to the opposition the following: we are determined to bring the budget to surplus. Standard & Poor's have given us a AAA credit rating. Indeed, we have a AAA credit grade rating from all three major ratings agencies—never achieved during the life of the Howard government. No amount of bellowing from the opposition is going to turn a AAA credit rating from Standard & Poor's into anything else. The premise of the Leader of the Opposition's question is absurd. Of course, the Leader of the Opposition is asking it as a hypocrite, because he will not commit himself— The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! The Prime Minister will withdraw. Ms GILLARD: I withdraw. The Leader of the Opposition has a double standard and he should end that. An opposition member: Your time's up! The DEPUTY SPEAKER: I will remind everybody that it is my call, and the constant calling of that is not assisting the dignity of this parliament.
