Hockey puts the budget together: Abbott

Tony Abbott says Treasurer Joe Hockey put the budget together, but it's the product of the whole government.
Questions have been raised about Mr Hockey's input into the budget given the prime minister and Social Services Minister Scott Morrison announced a key plank of Tuesday's budget - childcare reform - as part of a well-flagged families package.
"Sure the treasurer wanted to leave today's announcement to myself and Minister Morrison but he brings it altogether and I know he'll do it in a really fine way on Tuesday night," Mr Abbott told reporters on Sunday.
