I will mention one of the concerns people have with equality budgeting. We all see it sometimes. You look at the budget and pick out the measures that can be seen as equality measures. However, we all know that budgetary choices can really impact on the most marginalised in society. What would Ms O'Loughlin say to people who are concerned that the outcome of this will be that people just look at the budget after the fact and pick out the equality measures?
