My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. Last week, the IMF—which, it has to be said, is one of the chief agents of neoliberalism around the planet—suggested that Labor's stage 3 tax cuts should be reassessed. Here in Australia, everyone to the left of Malcolm Turnbull thinks that the stage 3 tax cuts should be ditched. Minister, does your government really believe that Labor's stage 3 tax cuts are good policy? Do you really believe that a quarter of a trillion dollars in tax cuts that overwhelmingly benefit the top end of town are preferable to putting dental and mental health into Medicare, making child care free and wiping out student debt?
