Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:59): My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has said that this was a budget of tough choices. How tough was it for the Prime Minister to choose between ripping $160 billion a fortnight out of the pockets of single pensioners— Government members interjecting— Opposition members interjecting— Mr SHORTEN: $160 per fortnight out of the pockets of pensioners, or giving $50,000 to multimillionaires who do not need it? Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, on a point of order, apart from the shouting and the argument, the Leader of the Opposition said that there was $160 billion in the pockets of pensioners, in which case I doubt they would be getting the age pension. He might want to rephrase the question. The SPEAKER: The Leader of the House will resume his seat. The Leader of the Opposition might take the opportunity to correct his figures. Mr SHORTEN: I certainly will. How tough was it for the Prime Minister in this budget of tough choices to rip $160 per fortnight away from single pensioners—$450 million overall in cuts—while at the same time paying $50,000 in paid parental leave to people that Australia knows do not need the money? Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: I call the Prime Minister, and I will have silence on my right and left. Mrs Griggs: Lucky you weren't the Treasurer. The SPEAKER: The member for Solomon! Mr Shorten: You don't have to worry about it! The SPEAKER: And the Leader of the Opposition will desist. The Prime Minister has the call and we will have silence.
