Again, a quote from a newspaper article I haven't seen; I can't confirm or otherwise know the veracity of that quote and whether it does indeed reflect the views or otherwise of the Treasurer.

Obviously, now you're asking me a question that is well outside my portfolio, so I'd refer any questions around that to the Treasurer. Of course, that previous scheme that the senator referred to only involved the decisions of state governments. So it's state governments that made decisions around those things and it's appropriate for questions about those to be placed to them.
