In question time today, the member for Rankin misrepresented my comments at this morning’s doorstop as a criticism of the coalition’s parental leave policy. What I said this morning was that, by comparison, the ETS is a tax that is paid even if you are going broke and that the parental leave levy is no different in terms of tax administration and approximate rate than the Medicare levy, except that its threshold is $5 million of taxable income and as an income tax it does not front-end prices.
