Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:54): As members opposite will discover soon enough tonight, this is a budget which keeps faith with the commitments that we have made to the Australian people, and the most fundamental commitment of all is to get the budget back under control. Let us not for a second— Ms Plibersek: Madam Speaker, on a point of order: it is a very clear question. It could be answered with a yes or no. It could be answered with a repetition of the promise that 'no-one's personal tax will go up'. The SPEAKER: There is no point of order. Mr ABBOTT: The situation that this government finds itself in is that we are confronting debt and deficit stretching as far as the eye can see. I can understand why members opposite are upset about the fire brigade—because they are the fire. We did not create this problem, but the people elected us to fix it. That is what the people did, and fix it we will. And we will fix it in ways which are fair and faithful to the pre-election commitments that we made. The SPEAKER: I call the member for Braddon. Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. On previous occasions when government members have missed the call and we have had two in a row, you have then evened it up during question time. The same thing happened earlier in question time. We presume that the same process you followed for government members will be followed for the opposition. The SPEAKER: What happened previously is that the Deputy Leader of the Opposition did miss the call in that she was not standing when the member was. There is a difficulty: the member for Braddon and the member for Ballarat were both standing, I have to be honest. I will give the call to the member for Ballarat.
