Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:06): This is the right budget for Australia because it tackles Labor's debt and deficit disaster. As for the figure that the Leader of the Opposition bandies about, I challenge him to produce one of the Labor Party's budgets which has that figure in it. I challenge the Leader of the Opposition to come up with a single Labor budget with that figured in it. Honourable members interjecting— Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, on a point of order on relevance, there is a request to the Prime Minister for authentication. He has to look at his own budget documents for the cut. Labor never made that cut. The SPEAKER: There is no point of order. The member will resume his seat. The Prime Minister has the call. Mr ABBOTT: There is no cut because there was no budget that contained it from members opposite. Mr Burke interjecting— The SPEAKER: the Leader of the Opposition is abusing the standing orders, and he knows it and will not do it again. Honourable members interjecting— Mr ABBOTT: There is no Labor budget that made the commitment that the Leader of the Opposition refers to. This was a pie-in-the-sky, undeliverable promise from the Labor Party, that was never contained in any single budget. When it comes to schools, let me be very clear, there is an eight per cent increase this year, an eight per cent increase next year, an eight per cent increase the year after that, and a six per cent increase in the final year. When it comes to public hospitals, there is a nine per cent increase this year, a nine per cent increase next year, a nine per cent increase the year after that, and a six per cent increase in the final year. Honourable members interjecting— Mr ABBOTT: On the question of indexation, members opposite changed the indexation of the family tax benefit from male total average weekly earnings to CPI. Members opposite demonstrated by their actions that the CPI is a fair indexation system. If it was fair for members opposite to do it for the family tax benefit, it is fair for this government to do it to other benefits. If it was fair for Labor to do it, it is fair for the coalition to do it. This is a fair budget, an honest budget, and above all else, it is the right budget for Australia because it deals with Labor's debt and deficit disaster. We have our plan to deal with Labor's debt and deficit disaster. We have demonstrated how we are going to clean up Labor's mess. It is about time that Labor demonstrated how they will clean up the mess they created. Mr Pyne: Madam Speaker, on a point of order—and I did not want to interrupt the Prime Minister during his answer—trying to hear the Prime Minister's response was almost impossible on this side of the House because of the wall of noise coming from the empty vessels on that side of the House. I would ask you to assist at least the electors of Australia to be able to hear the answers from the Prime Minister without the empty vessels opposite making so much noise. Mr Burke: Madam Speaker, on behalf of the opposition, we have the same trouble with the cheering that goes on from their back bench. The SPEAKER: The member will resume his seat. There will be silence so that we can hear the member for Wright who has been given the call.
