My question is to the Minister for Finance, Senator Cormann. In question time yesterday, the Prime Minister, the Treasurer and this minister were all asked to provide the parliament with the revised total cost of corporate tax cuts over the 10 years from 1 July 2018, both legislated and proposed to be legislated by the Turnbull government. The Prime Minister and the Treasurer each refused to answer on three occasions and the Minister for Finance twice. So on eight occasions the government refused to tell the parliament what their corporate tax cut plan costs. So I ask again: what is the revised total cost of corporate tax cuts over the 10 years from 1 July 2018, both legislated and proposed to be legislated by the government?
