Senator MARK BISHOP (Western Australia) (14:13): My question is to the Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Senator Wong. I refer the minister to the government's commitment to return the budget to surplus by 2012-13. Opposition senators interjecting— Senator MARK BISHOP: That's right—the commitment. Can the minister outline to the Senate any recent opposition to the return to surplus? Is this consistent with previous commitments? Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: It is very early in the new Senate, and people are just a little bit too excited.
