I thank the deputy leader for her question. The government of which she was a part, of course, knew all about introducing new taxes and new revenue measures. They introduced the changes to HECS thresholds and indexation. There was the introduction of the temporary budget repair levy, the reintroduction of fuel excise indexation, increased application charges for partner visas, increased depreciation life for computers and increased charges for visa applications. They introduced a cap on salary sacrificed meals and entertainment, changes to managed investment trusts, changes to the offshore banking unit regime, changes to FIFO workers, changes to tax rules for working holiday-makers, changes to the calculation of work related car expenses and changes to foreign investment fees for real estate and farming. There was the removal of the FTB part A large family supplement, the introduction of no jab, no pay for payments, the cessation of double dipping for paid parental leave.
