Some of the big negatives are the fact that while the Government has kept the promise from this last election, they've done nothing about the deficit left over from their first time in office and there's about 1.7 billion dollars of promises that were later described as non-core promises, the scrapping of the dental health program, scrapping of a lot of education funding, particularly universities et cetera, back there. Some good things now in the present, but a social deficit left over from what they've done in the past. We don't see a problem with that. The Treasurer one again has thrown down the challenge. He says the future of Australia really is in your hands in terms of the importance of his tax reform measures.
Tax reform is important.
That's why the Democrats have stayed at the table and want to keep talking about it. But we are not going to pass a package that isn't fair. We are not going to pass the current package. If we do, it would wipe out for low and middle income families all the gains they've made in this Budget. We say very clearly to the Treasurer again that we need a package that is environmental responsible and one that is fair, particularly for low and middle income earners.
