Bill Shorten (Maribyrnong, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. This morning John Howard admitted that there were tax rises in the Prime Minister's budget. Just minutes ago, the Leader of the Government in the Senate described the difference between tax rises and levies as semantics. Will the Prime Minister now have the gumption, moral courage and honesty to admit that his budget contains tax rises? Will the Prime Minister now apologise to Australians for breaking the promises he made before the election?
