How juvenile they are! If they want to reference a particular quote from Hansard, why didn't they say so in the question? If they were referencing what was put to me on radio this morning, it was an alleged anonymous report in a newspaper.

It is well known that the government has for some time been considering, through an orderly, methodical process, how the tax system could be further improved. That is part of our overall plan to strengthen growth and create more jobs, which includes a whole range of other very important initiatives pursued by the government. That process is ongoing. When the government is in a position to make relevant announcements, we will make them.
