Bernie Ripoll (Oxley, Australian Labor Party) Share this | Hansard source

It is a great pleasure for me to speak briefly on the Tax Laws Amendment (Medicare Levy and Medicare Levy Surcharge) Bill 2008 because this is all good news. The amendments in this bill are all good news and will do some very good things in terms of thresholds and the Medicare levy. That will mean a lot to a whole range of consumers who expected Labor to do this on coming in, because this is a fulfilment of an election promise. Can I note on the importance of this bill that the Liberal Party takes it so seriously that they have just one speaker.
