Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (15:02): Yet again, the Leader of the Opposition is simply dead wrong. Every year, government funding in the areas that he mentions goes up: hospitals, up nine per cent this year, nine per cent next year, nine per cent the year after that, and six per cent in the final year— Dr Chalmers interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Rankin! Mr ABBOTT: Schools: up nine per cent this year, nine per cent next year, nine per cent the year after that, and six per cent in the final year— Ms King interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Ballarat! Mr Burke interjecting — The SPEAKER: The member for Watson! Mr ABBOTT: So what we have is an opposition that is mired in this culture of irrelevant complaint. They complain that we do not keep promises. They complain even louder when we do keep promises. All they ever do is complain. They are just the national complaints bureau; they are simply irrelevant. The Leader of the Opposition has dealt the Labor Party out of the national conversation, out of a constructive contribution to our national life. We will deal with the parliament, including the crossbench, that the people elected and with the people who are prepared to deal with us. That is what people expect and that is what we intend to do. The SPEAKER: I call the honourable member for Canning, and I apologise for missing him earlier.
