My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, how many Australians earning $60,000 will have to pay more tax so that the Prime Minister can give a single millionaire a tax cut of $16,400?

The honourable member knows full well that the increase to the Medicare levy, which would include Australians earning more than $60,000, will go to fund the National Disability Insurance Scheme. That is what it will do. The honourable member knows very well that he left the National Disability Insurance Scheme unfunded. And for all his sanctimony and inconsistency, all of his po-faced hypocrisy, he can preach as much as he likes, but he left the till empty.

The member for Gorton is warned!

He left the parents of disabled children without the certainty of knowing that their kids will be looked after in the future. We are addressing it. We are making sure it is paid for. He should stop the politics and get on with the job of being responsible for defending the most vulnerable people in Australia. That is what we are doing.

Members on both sides! The member for McEwen has been warned. He even acknowledged that he has been warned. Now he will watch the rest of question time from his office.

The member for McEwen then left the chamber.
