Senator HUME (Victoria) (14:00): My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. Before the election, the now Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations said: People will be seeing in their bank accounts what the change of government mean s. Last night's budget confirms that inflation will be higher, electricity prices will be higher, gas prices will be higher, real wage growth will be lower and, under a conservative analysis, the average Australian family will be at least $2,000 worse off by Christmas. Minister, is this what Labor mean when they say Australians 'will be seeing in their bank accounts what the change of government means'? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Before I call the minister, I am going to warn the Senate. Senator Ayres interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator Ayres! I do appreciate that people are very keen to make a contribution about the budget, for better or for worse, but I am going to ask people to do it respectfully and to do it quietly. I will not put up with a lot of interjections. I could barely hear the tail end of Senator Hume's question then, and we have just started.
