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) (14:06): I think Australians are increasingly becoming aware of what going backwards under you lot looks like. It means cuts to Medicare, cuts to pensions, slashes to public services and cuts to the NDIS—all those services that people rely on. What they need is responsible government, coherent policy looking to the future— Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister, resume your seat. Order! The running commentary needs to stop. You are all out of order. Senator GALLAGHER: There's a real contrast between what we are proposing and putting forward to the Australian people and what those opposite are. Those opposite want to cut in order to pay for their nuclear power stations that sometime in the future might provide four per cent of energy into the grid, whilst we're getting on with delivering a renewable energy future, the jobs of the future, investment in our people and cost-of-living help for every household that needs it. The budget is in better shape than what we inherited, and we know what the offer is from the other side: cuts to everything except what you pay in tax. (Time expired)
