QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for Finance, Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Women, Minister for Government Services and Manager of Government Business in the Senate) (14:35): No. it's delivering election commitments. The way you deliver election commitments—people over that side, I think you made election commitments yourselves, but obviously you're not in government, so you're not able to deliver them.

When parties make commitments through an election process—you have to deliver them. The election commitment is clear. It is made before the election.

The value of that election commitment is made clear. It is contained in our costings. And, on winning the support of the electorate, when we come into government, there are grant rules around how to administer those election commitments and deliver them.

Those grant rules were followed. The PRESIDENT: Senator Pocock, first supplementary?
