My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann—and I too congratulate him on his new position. Yesterday, when asked about the impact of his government's increase in the Medicare levy, the Prime Minister's told the ABC, 'I am not going to concede your figures.' Given the Prime Minister refused to concede how much extra Australians will be paying, will the minister now concede that the increase will mean a worker on $55,000 will pay $275 extra a year in tax while someone on $80,000 will face an extra $400 in tax?
