Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (15:05): My question is to the Prime Minister. For over a year the Prime Minister has pretended that he has not cut $80 billion from Australian schools and hospitals despite it being written in his budget papers. This week the New South Wales Liberal Treasurer described these cuts as 'a cut to growth funding which is substantially a cut to the budget—no doubt about that'. When will the Prime Minister finally admit that he has cut $80 billion from our schools and hospitals? Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The question has been asked. The Prime Minister will have the call and he will be heard in silence with no more caterwauling.
