My question is to Senator Conroy, the Minister representing the Treasurer. My question concerns the GST—a tax, I understand, Senator Conroy is very familiar with. In fact Senator Conroy would recall his earlier views on the GST were stated so often in this chamber, when he said it was ‘un-Australian’ and would have a ‘devastating impact’ on small business, working families and pensioners. My question to Senator Conroy is: has he changed his views on the GST and, in particular, would he explain why the GST is not included in the Henry review of taxation?
