My question is to the Treasurer. This morning the Treasurer introduced legislation to implement the government's entire seven-year personal income tax scheme. Already today, at the National Press Club, the Treasurer has refused to say what the year-by-year cost of that scheme is, because he said those costings were 'unreliable'. If the Treasurer won't say what the year-by-year cost of the scheme is, and he also says the costings are unreliable, how can the Treasurer ask the parliament to vote for it?
