I thank the honourable member for her question. I also acknowledge the 104,000 taxpayers in her electorate who will get two more tax cuts because of Tuesday night's budget. I also want to acknowledge that the member for Wentworth is a frequent and considered contributor to the national debate about tax reform, and I assure her that the government's focus is on implementing the broad and ambitious tax reform agenda that we have laid out over the course of four budgets now.

Obviously—and the member referred to this in her question—the tax cuts for every taxpayer are about returning bracket creep and increasing participation. We're also ensuring multinationals pay their fair share of tax here in Australia. We're encouraging investment in important areas like housing and clean energy with our tax breaks.
