If the prime minister can head out for a spot of dinner, I think we can too. Let's wrap for today. Thanks so much for your company. I look forward (well, in a manner of speaking) to resuming the batting for budget day in the morning.

If you are needing to plan, I'll be with you as usual on the live blog from early tomorrow through to when we troop off for the budget briefings, which is around lunchtime. A colleague will carry the blog through Question Time – so you won't fall with me into the budget black hole.

Then I'll be back tomorrow evening with the budget coverage live – I'll give you the budget at a glance as the treasurer makes his speech tomorrow evening, then I'll steer you through the analysis and reaction. We'll finally get to see the detail of all the measures, and have a good old conversation about the consequences.

Thanks to my gang today – lovely Gabi Chan, and Daniel Hurst and Bridie Jabour. Enjoy your evening. Have a good rest. And bring your bright eyes and bushy tails tomorrow.
