Senator MARK BISHOP (Western Australia) (14:08): My question is to the Minister for Finance and Deregulation. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my left! It is proper to show the courtesy that a questioner deserves by remaining silent. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: I remind those on my left of the courtesies that should be displayed. Senator Bishop. Senator MARK BISHOP: Thank you, Mr President. My question is to the Minister for Finance and Deregulation, Senator Wong. Can the minister outline to the Senate what steps the government is taking to enhance the capacity of the Parliamentary Budget Office to assist parties with costing of their policies? Why is it important to take action to improve the ability of parties to properly cost policies?
