Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:04): This government will always have the right fiscal settings for the economy and jobs. We will always do that. We stand in stark contrast to those opposite who we know opposed the stimulus package, who, to this day, try to brush over the global financial crisis. As I have said, we have just delivered a midyear budget update, which has billions of dollars in savings to return the budget to surplus, that demonstrates our commitment to fiscal discipline— Senator Brandis: Mr President, on a point of order on the question of direct relevance, I did ask the Minister whether the commitment to return the budget to surplus was still a promise or merely a forecast. I ask you to invite the Minister to address the only issue I raised in my question: is it still a promise or isn't it? The PRESIDENT: Order! The Minister is quite in order. The Minister is answering the question and has 28 seconds remaining. Senator WONG: Thank you, Mr President. We have just delivered a midyear budget update which returns the budget to surplus. The opposition might want to have a look at it. While we are on that subject, they might want to tell us, if they are so keen on surpluses, whether or not they will actually back off savings measures because I noticed that Mr Hockey, after likening the baby bonus changes to the one-child policy in China—an outrageous statement—is still hedging his bets as to whether or not he will support it.
