My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Cormann. In your budget you proposed various tax increases. You proposed to increase tax on super by nearly $3 billion by 2020. Your backbenchers objected, including George Christensen, who threatened to cross the floor. You then revised your plan so as to increase tax on super by more than $3 billion by 2020. Your backbenchers were elated. George Christensen even called a press conference to declare he was 100 per cent supportive of the revised plan. Does your party room support increased taxation or do they just have difficulties adding up?
