Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:45): Australians would miss out on assistance in relation to climate change if the coalition were to be elected. What they would miss out on is tax cuts, what they would miss out on are increases to pensions and other allowances—these are all the things that those opposite oppose. They will have to go to the next election telling Australian pensioners that they will get less. They will have to go to the next election saying to Australians that everyone earning under $80,000 a year will pay more under an Abbott government. That is the coalition's policy. That is before they rip away health services like Mr Abbott did when he was the minister for health, ripping a billion dollars out of public hospitals— Senator Birmingham: Mr President, on a point of order, the minister has had 48 seconds to respond to this supplementary, which asked the government very directly about their policy. She has spent all 48 seconds talking about the coalition's policies. I would invite you to direct the minister to actually refer to the government's policies and the question she was asked about the impact on the budget deficit, and the Prime Minister's promise for ongoing increases in compensation in the remaining 12 seconds that she has. The PRESIDENT: There is no point of order. The minister. Senator WONG: The fiscal tables associated with the package show the impact on the budget. We obviously always update the budget figures in the usual way, but those opposite have no credibility on this. (Time expired)
