My question is to the Treasurer. Given no Australian worker pays any tax on the first $18,200 of earnings, isn't it the case that under Labor's sensible backpacker tax proposal, there is no income level at which Australians would pay more tax than working holiday-makers? Why is the government misleading the Australian people?
