Cormann, Sen Mathias

Senator CORMANN (Western Australia) (14:22): Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I remind the minister of the Prime Minister's commitment last year that, 'Every time we announce something we properly account for it and properly fund it.' Given that the government has announced a multitude of unbudgeted, multibillion-dollar spending commitments in recent months, culminating in a $120 billion budget black hole on top of $172 billion in accumulated budget deficits already, can the minister explain where all the money is coming from?
