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) (14:38): I thank Senator Henderson for the question. I thank her— Hon ourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Senator Henderson has asked a specific question, which the minister has stood to answer and there's disorderly calling out on both sides of the chamber— Senator Sterle in terjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Sterle! Minister. Senator GALLAGHER: I thank Senator Henderson for the question and for reminding the chamber of the fiscally responsible way that we are going about managing a broken budget, heaving with a trillion dollars in Liberal debt after we inherited a budget from a government that has spent more, borrowed more and delivered less than any other government. The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I'm waiting for your own side to be quiet, Senator Henderson. I assume it's a point of order? Senator Henderson: Yes, it is. On a point of order of direct relevance, it was a very specific question relating to a pre-election promise to spend $20,000 building a frog bog. Yes or no: will that be delivered? Including: is it fiscally responsible? Senator McGrath: What about the toads? The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator McGrath! Senator Henderson has raised a point of order. She is entitled to a response. You did ask a general question. You talked about line by line, and then you asked specifically in relation to a budget measure at a particular school, so the minister is being relevant. Senator GALLAGHER: Thank you, President. I will get to the substance of the question. But, as you said, the senator did go to the fact that we are auditing the budget and going through it line by line, and it is really important work. It's essential work, if we are going to reprioritise within existing funding to shift the budget from political buyoffs that plagued the previous government— Op position senators interjecting— Senator GALLAGHER: The member for New England seemed to get a lot of attention. The price of zero wasn't zero, was it Senator Birmingham? No. And we saw that in the budget with billions of dollars. The government made a range of election commitments. They're all contained in this plan, which I'm sure you all have, because it's a very, very successful plan that we took to the last election. The election commitments as outlined in this plan— Senator Henderson: I regret to have to raise a point of order on direct relevance again. It was a question specifically about the frog bog. Whether it is fiscally responsible is very questionable— The PRESIDENT: Senator Henderson, please resume your seat. There is no point of order. The minister is being relevant. Senator GALLAGHER: This document outlines all of our election commitments and their fiscal impact, and it is the government's intention, as the Prime Minister has said on a number of occasions, to do what we promised we would do before the election if we were successful. So the answer to that is: where we have made election commitments, we will be delivering on them. The PRESIDENT: Senator Henderson, first supplementary?
