Ms PLIBERSEK (Sydney—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:24): I am very sorry to have to disagree with the parliamentary secretary— Mr McCormack: Because you like me so much! Ms PLIBERSEK: We do! We agree on so much, but today he has really gone on an adventure! It takes a very special government to cut health, to cut education, to cut pensions and to cut support for families—$6,000 from the ordinary family—and still more than double the deficit. How do you manage to expand the deficit and expand debt over the next 40 years—it is in their own Intergenerational report—and still be cutting, despite your promises, health, education, support for families and pensions? I know not many of you noticed, but I was asked to leave during question time today for saying that I object to the fact that this government has a plan—the Treasurer has a secret plan—to cut more than $200 million from New South Wales in GST revenue. I am not ashamed to be thrown out of this place for standing up for the people of New South Wales. They have experienced extraordinary cuts already because of this government's broken promises, with $15 billion cut from New South Wales hospitals, $1.2 billion over the next four years alone, and $9½ billion cut from New South Wales's schools. I am not ashamed to stand up for the people of New South Wales and say, 'No more cuts, and no cut to the GST revenue that New South Wales rightly expects to receive.' Isn't it a shame that Mike Baird is not prepared to say, 'No more cuts to New South Wales'? Isn't it a shame that Mike Baird would rather keep relations good with his surfing buddy than stand up for the people of New South Wales? We have seen over the last year the most chaotic approach to a budget, ever. We saw that in the first year of government, up until Joe Hockey's last budget, and since then we have seen the inability to get these budget measures through. Here we are lining up for a second budget, with the same chaos reigning. It is really worrying that the foreign minister finds out from the front page of the newspaper that her budget is going to be cut again, for the fourth time in a row. It is worrying that the way she stops that happening is by having a fight with the Treasurer in the chamber, during a condolence motion— Ms Macklin: And then leaks the outcome. Ms PLIBERSEK: and then leaks the outcome. What is extraordinary about this is not only that the foreign minister did not know but that members opposite seem to have missed what was in the budget last May. It is extraordinary that they do not understand that the cuts to legal services will close community legal services and family violence prevention legal services in the electorates. We heard today from the Attorney-General that that is all fixed. He is a fixer apparently, just like the education minister. We have another fixer, and the Prime Minister is, I think, the other fixer. The Minister for Social Services—another fixer. They are all fixers. So the Attorney-General fixer went out today and said he had fixed the issue of legal services. I called the legal service in my electorate, the Redfern Legal Centre, who have done a fantastic job over many decades, and they said that instead of having a shortfall of about $340,000 they will have a shortfall of about $290,000. A $290,000 cut instead of a $341,970 cut means that they lose half their solicitors, lose three areas of legal practice and turn away 500 people. It means they cannot help the people who go to them normally for help, and that includes the victims of family violence in very large numbers. On the one hand we have had the Minister for Social Services going out and saying he has fixed homelessness, when he never restored the $44 million they cut in the last budget. We have the Attorney-General saying they have fixed support for legal services for victims of domestic violence, and that is not true. Rosie Batty, the Australian of the Year, said that she was assured by the Prime Minister and by the minister assisting him, Michaelia Cash, that no front-line services to domestic violence victims would be cut, and that is not true. She has returned from Mildura, where they will cut one full-time lawyer, and that lawyer will finish work on 30 June. We see services cut, the most important services. We have alcohol and drug services that are closing on 30 June, and the Royal Flying Doctor Service's Rural Women's GP Service is also facing closure on 30 June. (Time expired)
