My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday in question time the Prime Minister said:

The problem with the GST … is that it affects households with lower incomes … because they will spend a larger proportion of their income on goods and services that are subject to the GST.

Given that the Prime Minister will not rule out increasing the GST, will the Prime Minister please explain exactly what items will increase in price by 15 per cent, what compensation will be provided, and to whom?
