Chris Bowen (McMahon, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Treasurer. On Neil Mitchell's program last year, the Treasurer described leadership rumblings as, 'a bit of political bed-wetting by some'. A source in today's Financial Review, on the front page, describes coalition MPs who oppose a rise in the GST as 'bed-wetters'. Treasurer, is this a coincidence? When will the Treasurer finally come clean with the Australian people and his own colleagues about his plan to increase the price of everything, with a 15 per cent GST?
