Mr ABBOTT (Warringah—Prime Minister) (14:06): On health, on public hospitals, spending is 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. On schools, spending is up eight per cent this year, eight per cent next year, eight per cent the year after that and six per cent in the final year. And pensions will go up every year, twice a year. And sure— Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: There will be silence! Mr ABBOTT: There are some quite modest cuts to the ABC. There are some quite modest savings that we are expecting from the ABC. But members opposite seem to think that this is some kind of a fraught moment. Members opposite went into the election saying that the deficit would be $18 billion. It turned out to be $48 billion. What members opposite said was an $18-billion deficit turned out to be $48 billion. That is a $30-billion black hole that members opposite created and tried to cover up. That is exactly what happened. When circumstances change, intelligent governments react accordingly. Mr Butler interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Port Adelaide is warned. Mr ABBOTT: We will restore the budget situation. We will not continue the intergenerational theft that members opposite were guilty of. We will not commit these crimes against our children and grandchildren that members opposite were creating. That is what we were elected to do. Mr Dreyfus interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister will resume his seat. The member for Isaacs will withdraw. Mr Dreyfus: I withdraw.
