Unfortunately, Penny, my question's not to you, but my question is to the Minister for Finance, Senator Gallagher. Minister, on 28 November 2022, in response to Senator McDonald, you said:

The government has no plans for a mining tax. The Prime Minister has been very clear on that. The Treasurer has been clear on that.

On 8 February 2023, in question time, the Prime Minister ruled out any changes to the fuel tax credits scheme. Considering both the Prime Minister and the Treasurer have repeatedly reassured Australians that they had no plans to change the stage 3 tax cuts and then broke that promise, how long will it be before you betray the trust of the Australian people again and introduce a mining tax or undermine the fuel tax credits scheme?
