Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:56): I'll have to take that question on notice. I understand the bits around going through the budget process, because those decisions are still underway. And as Senator Ruston, from sitting on the ERC, would note, in the lead-up to a budget you do go through a process of assessing, approving and making decisions about what will be funded in the budget. Those decisions are currently before government. I am trying to be directly relevant— The PRESIDENT: Sorry, Minister—Senator Ruston? Senator Ruston: I rise on a point of relevance. I was actually asking the minister in relation to a commitment that had been promised on 1 July—why it was being considered in the budget in October when it actually had been committed to start on 1 July? The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator. I'll draw the minister's attention to that part of the question. Minister Gallagher. Senator GALLAGHER: Someone's trying to help me here. If it is relating to a previously funded commitment from the former government, we are also going through a process around that. Look, I think that in the interests of the chamber and giving accurate information, I'm not briefed on this matter and I would bring this information back to the senator following question time. The PRESIDENT: Senator Ruston, a first supplementary.
