Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:49): I did not say there would be special treatment for the ABC. An efficiency dividend— Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: I have had enough of the wall of noise and cacophony on my left. It will cease or there will be more people joining those who have already left. Mr ABBOTT: I know that members opposite do not want to talk about the future. They want to dwell in the past. I know that members opposite were incompetent in government, and now they are wreckers in opposition. I know that, while this government is trying to build Australia's future, members opposite are doing their best to sabotage it. Let me say this: I never said there would be special treatment for the ABC. Everyone knew that there was going to be an efficiency dividend. Ms Hall interjecting— Mr Chester interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Shortland and the member for Bendigo will cease, or they will leave. Mr ABBOTT: Effectively, what we are doing to the ABC is applying an efficiency dividend to it. The difference is that, instead of getting $6.9 billion over the next five years, the ABC and the SBS are getting $6.6 billion. That is what is happening. Instead of $6.9 billion, they are getting $6.6 billion. I ask the Leader of the Opposition: is he— Mr Shorten: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order on relevance. It was a very straight question: did the Prime Minister or did he not say: no cuts to the ABC or SBS? The SPEAKER: The member will resume his seat. I will listen to the Prime Minister's answer relating to the question. Mr ABBOTT: The challenge for the Leader of the Opposition, if he wishes to persist in this, is to say whether or not he is going to restore ABC funding. Is he going to give an extra $250 million to the ABC? Because if he is not prepared to say yes, he is a fraud. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: I said: enough! The member for Adelaide and the member for Ballarat will leave under 94(a). Mr ABBOTT: If he is not prepared to say yes, that he will instantly restore $250 million to the ABC and the SBS, he is simply a fraud. The SPEAKER: And the member for Ballarat! Mr ABBOTT: Let me repeat: this is a government— Mr Burke: Given that the member for Adelaide was silent, what standing order was she thrown out under? The SPEAKER: She was not silent. I would say to the Manager of Opposition Business that it would be a good idea if you could keep them under control a little. The Prime Minister has the call. Mr ABBOTT: Madam Speaker, what we are seeing from the opposition today is an opposition which is completely bereft of any ideas for our future—an opposition that wants to obsess about the past and not build for the future and an opposition that was utterly incompetent— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will resume his seat. Has the Prime Minister concluded his answer? The Leader of the Opposition.
