Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:39): I thank the shadow minister for his question because it does give me the opportunity to say that, during the last parliamentary week, we listened to any amount of nonsense from the opposition about budget figures. What has happened in the week since is that the Secretary of the Treasury has verified that, had the pre-election fiscal outlook been delivered on budget day, then the same set of numbers would have been delivered. For all of the opposition's false campaigning— Mr Hockey: It's got the same assumptions. The SPEAKER: The member for North Sydney! Mr Hockey interjecting— The SPEAKER: No, you're not; you're not helping the House. Ms GILLARD: For all of the opposition's fearmongering and ridiculous nonsense in the lead-up to the budget and budget week itself, it is now no longer possible for the opposition to pursue these claims because the Treasury secretary has verified— Mr Hunt: Speaker, my point of order goes to relevance. Is the Prime Minister aware that the $5.42 figure was from her own officials today? The SPEAKER: The member will resume his seat. The Prime Minister has the call and will be relevant to the question. Ms GILLARD: In being relevant to the question, I was asked about budget numbers and I am making the point that, despite the ridiculous claims of the opposition, what has been verified is that the numbers would be the same as the PEFO numbers had the pre-election fiscal outlook been delivered on budget Tuesday. That now gives the opposition nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Now is the time for it to put out its cuts to the bone. Its last refuge, of waiting for PEFO, is now gone. If they are hiding those cuts, Australians know what to conclude: they are so deep and so hurtful that they do not want Australians to know the truth. Mr Husic interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Chifley is warned!
