The opposition deputy leader said yesterday, and I will again start my answer with that, 'I'm not going to play the "Yes, this is good; no, this is bad," the rule in, rule out. I'm just not going to do it. You wouldn't expect me to pull out one ingredient or one part of tax reform.' You are so clearly embarrassed by the position you have taken, by the backflip, by your adoption of our policy that you're scrapping around looking in that drawer for scare campaigns of 'what next?' because you've actually had to capitulate and accept that our policy on tax is the better policy.

When it comes to tax reform, I have been clear. We have income tax reform. We have multinational tax reform. We have high-balance-super-accounts reform. We have PRRT reform. Those reforms are before the parliament. That is the government's tax reform agenda. You might want to talk about all the things we're not doing, because you're so embarrassed about the fact that the decision we took was the right one. (Time expired)
