My question is to the Treasurer. I refer the Treasurer to the fact that he has confirmed that cabinet considered tax increases and income tax surcharges, yet the Treasurer says that it is all up to the Henry review. I refer to the fact that the Henry review is meant to be comprehensive, root and branch; yet it excludes the consideration of aspects of the GST and superannuation. Treasurer, if you are not sure who is setting government tax policy, how can the Australian people trust this government with tax?
