And I won't, Mr Speaker. It's a helpful guide to where the member for Petrie and the opposition stand on income tax reduction. I looked at the section on those earning less than $45,000 a year. Under his plan, there's absolutely nothing. Every one of those people in his electorate would be $804 worse off. I looked at how much somebody on $100,000 a year would get under his plan: $1,375, or $804 worse off. I looked at how much somebody on $80,000 a year would get: $875 versus $1,679. They'd be $804 worse off. I went through all of the scales, and, on average, they're $804 a year worse off. We have waited a long time for a shadow Assistant Treasurer. He's probably going to achieve the unachievable, and that is to make Stuart Robert look good!
