Senator JOYCE (Queensland—Leader of The Nationals in the Senate) (14:13): My question is to Senator Conroy, the Minister representing the Prime Minister, who apparently next week will go to Rooty Hill with bodyguards, drivers and an entourage to work undercover— The PRESIDENT: The question! Senator JOYCE: I refer the minister to an investment note issued by UBS yesterday morning stating that: 'Based on the first six months of budget returns, we expect a revenue shortfall of about $12 billion and an expense overrun of about $3 billion, to take the Australian government's fiscal balance to a deficit of about $15 billion for the financial year 2012-13.' Given that the Prime Minister once said that getting the budget into surplus— Government senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Wait a minute, Senator Joyce. Senator Joyce is entitled to be heard in silence. Senator JOYCE: Given that the Prime Minister once said that getting the budget into surplus was 'the best thing we can do to help families with cost-of-living pressures,' why is the government about to deliver its fifth budget deficit, of a size approaching $15 billion?
