The Liberals continue to hide their plans from Australians, refusing to come clean on what services they would cut if elected.
Yesterday, the Government released an Economic Statement that details the economic outlook facing Australia, the challenges ahead, and the path to budget surplus in 2016-17.
Weve detailed the responsible savings we will make so we can invest in important reforms such as DisabilityCare and the Better Schools Plan.
Australians rightly expect transparency and accountability from the Government and the alternative Government, especially in an election year.
Instead, the Opposition continue to hide their plans and their cuts from the Australian people.
The Government has released its numbers in its Economic Statement, and Australians deserve to know the Oppositions budget bottom line too.
A detailed new analysis (click 'Download PDF version' above to view) shows that the Opposition's unfunded spending promises would blow out the budget over the forward estimates.
This means that the Opposition would have to make $70 billion in cuts to match our path to budget surplus, which they have repeatedly insisted they would do if elected.
The only way Tony Abbott can make his budget numbers add up is to cut deeply into key services such as health and education, transport and infrastructure investment.
Its time for Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey to stop hiding their plans and come clean with Australians about the drastic cuts they would make if elected.
