Senator HUME (Victoria) (14:53): Yesterday, in relation to the size of the Public Service, the Minister for Finance stated: … I think we've resourced it properly now.

Given the Prime Minister has committed to being honest about his budgets, how does he explain this shoddy deception? Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! On my right. Minister Gallagher, order!
