I see.

I'm going to ask a simple question related to this.

The government presents its budget to MPs, the public and the media. For example, let's say it announces that the deficit will be $25 billion. Is that true, or will subsequent budget updates be issued during the year? Is it possible we'll never really know where it stops?

Is it possible that we'll find out later but that the budget presented to us doesn't really give us the true picture?
