In relation to the legislation, I suspect Senator Milne knows what the government's position is on that. I was part way through reminding the Senate of the tax reforms this government has put in place which benefit lower-income Australians—all Australians earning up to $80,000 a year, particularly Australians who are part-time workers, the majority of whom are women, who have benefited by this government's tripling of the tax-free threshold. I would also remind the chamber that that is to be repealed should Tony Abbott ever become prime minister.
