Senator KITCHING (Victoria) (14:19): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. When asked on 2GB why he could barely muster a slow clap for the budget on Tuesday night, the former Prime Minister Tony Abbott said, 'I gave the Treasurer the applause I thought he deserved.' I think, Mr President, that that quote is worth repeating: 'I gave the Treasurer the applause I thought he deserved.' If even Tony Abbott thinks that this budget deserves nothing more than a slow clap, what kind of Liberal budget has Prime Minister Turnbull overseen?
