On the question that is now before the House, it is the view of the opposition that the next stage of these tax cuts are not affordable. The budget has made that clear. Therefore, it should be considered at a later date, rather than at the next sitting. I move:

That the words 'the next sitting' be omitted with a view to substituting '29 August 2019' as an amendment.
