Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:36): I am in a position where I will have to withdraw a statement. I withdraw that the leader of the opposition read Phil Coorey's column this morning; clearly, that is not true. On the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook, I stand by the words that I have just answered in the first part of the leader of the opposition's question. On the question of wording about surplus, I do recall the time in February where in three or four days the leader of the opposition said they would have a surplus 'as quickly as possible', the shadow minister for finance said 'it just depends', the shadow Treasurer said 'as soon as possible' and then the member of Sturt reverted to type and said he 'would have to look at the books'. Where have we heard that before? From Campbell Newman. Mr Hockey: I rise on a point of order on relevance. If question time has any meaning, the Prime Minister has to be relevant. The SPEAKER: The member for North Sydney will resume his seat. I was going to ask the Prime Minister to return to relevance but, if question time is to have any relevance, people need to be able to hear the answers being given and, at this point in time, I actually cannot. The Prime Minister has the call and will be relevant to the question. Ms GILLARD: Thank you very much, Madam Speaker. As I answered earlier, have a look at the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook in which we have delivered billions of dollars of savings, adding to the billions of dollars of savings that we have delivered in the past. What that means is we stand by the figures in the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook and we are on track to deliver as the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook outlines. Mr Dutton interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Dickson is warned. Ms GILLARD: Meanwhile, all we will see on that side, as we have seen in the papers today, are the divisions about the Leader of the Opposition's strategy because they too, over there, are sick of his negativity. Mr Pyne interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Sturt should not repeat the performance at every question time. The member for La Trobe has the call.
