Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:28): In answer to the shadow minister's question I refer him to my last answer and to the provisions in the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook. I would also say to the shadow minister that it really does strike me as a little bit strange that month after month after month he came into this parliament saying Nauru was the answer: Nauru was definitely the answer! Now, apparently so that he can maintain a negative stance, he has moved the goal posts. Now he is saying, presumably, that the policy he advocated is destined for failure. What this proves is that whatever the government does the opposition will say something negative. Whatever we do— Mr Morrison: I rise on a point of order: direct relevance. I asked how the Prime Minister could credibly claim the government will deliver a surplus in 2012-13 given the blow outs that are occurring on our borders. The SPEAKER: The member for Cook will resume his seat. The Prime Minister has the call and will be heard in silence. Ms GILLARD: I heard the shadow minister's question and I am left wondering how he can credibly participate in this debate given the politics he played with grief and given his multiple positions— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will return to the question. Ms GILLARD: since then and his negativity as on display in this parliament today. There we have it.
