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

My question is to the Prime Minister. When he was the opposition leader he criticised the then Prime Minister as follows:

Mr Rudd could have put that to rest and said, 'No, there won't be any new taxes on the family home.' But he has not ruled that out, so that is a legitimate concern.

In the interests of holding the Prime Minister to his own standards, since the Prime Minister will not rule out increasing the GST to 15 per cent, why will he not answer the legitimate concerns of millions of Australian families?
