Over the past few weeks or so members opposite have been very vocal in this place about the Active Kids vouchers. They have been grandstanding on this matter, and they have been claiming that Labor does not care about New South Wales kids. It would be laughable if it was not so embarrassing. The facts speak for themselves. The fact is that the former Government never funded the Active Kids or Creative Kids vouchers beyond 30 June. That is simple fact. While the previous Government left the vouchers for dead, we have in fact saved the program. We have introduced a program that will make the vouchers sustainable. We know about providing relief to low- and middle-income families that are facing cost‑of‑living pressures. I have many of those families in my electorate of Leppington; I spoke to thousands of them during the campaign. They are reasonable people, and they are not fooled by the bluff and bluster of those opposite. That is why we are sitting on this side of the House and they are sitting on that side.

The new program will ensure that kids can play sport and stay healthy into the future in a more sustainable, fairer way. We understand that parents should be able to get their kids out and about and participate in the community. What we have not done is leave them in the lurch like those opposite. The Opposition left parents and kids in the lurch by not funding the Active Kids vouchers. It is disgraceful. I am a very strong supporter of community sport. It is a major part of my life as both a community member and a father. My son plays for the fabulous Liverpool Olympic Football Club, which celebrated its fortieth anniversary on the weekend. I was in attendance, and it was a wonderful event. Also in attendance were other parents, coaches, players and members of the local association. They came up to me and said, "Nathan, what is going on with these Active Kids vouchers?"

TEMPORARY SPEAKER (Mr Alex Greenwich): Order! Opposition members will come to order.

Mr NATHAN HAGARTY: Because they are reasonable, sensible people, we had a measured discussion and I told them what was going to happen. In fact, they said, "That is a sensible and measured approach, and we look forward to it. We look forward to seeing the soccer clubs throughout Leppington and the south-west grow as a result of these changes." What they were disgusted by—what they were shocked by—was the state of the budget and why we had to do what we had to do.

Mr Matt Cross: Tell us about cashbacks.

Mr NATHAN HAGARTY: What I will tell you about is the $7 billion worth of unfunded programs that you left. First, there are the Active Kids vouchers. Then there are more than 1,000 unfunded public hospital nursing roles, 120 of which are in my local health district, the South Western Sydney Local Health District. We also have out-of-home care for vulnerable children—unfunded. We have emergency fire trail programs—unfunded. We have cybersecurity—unfunded. Speaking of cybersecurity, there was a big hack last year. Members might have been keeping an eye on the news. Medibank was hacked.

Mr Paul Scully: Service NSW was hacked.

Mr NATHAN HAGARTY: Service NSW was hacked, probably as a result of the lack of funding here. If one is on a board or follows these things, one of the biggest issues for directors is cybersecurity. They have been told by their peak body and by the Government, "You've got to invest in cybersecurity." It is one of the biggest issues. It puts all of us at risk. Our private data is out there if we do not protect it, and the previous Government left it unfunded. The reckless and irresponsible management of the former Government does not stop there. The State is $187.5 billion in debt. Rather than pay down the debt, the former Government came up with a hare-brained scheme called the debt recovery fund, where it would borrow more debt—$25.3 billion of debt—to pay off the debt. To me, that sounds like some kind of multi-level marketing scheme—some kind of Ponzi scheme. Bernie Madoff would blush.

Mr Paul Scully: He's in jail for that.

Mr NATHAN HAGARTY: Yes. This is a kind of multi-level marketing scheme. Using debt to pay off debt is a big pyramid scheme. The previous Government was so into multi-level marketing, I am surprised that during the election campaign it did not come out with an election commitment to start selling vitamins and Tupperware via the Service NSW app. We have got bluster from members opposite; we have got a whole bunch of carry-on. But let us be honest here: The Government is funding this program into the future.
