I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

concurs with the Opposition Shadow Treasurer, Mr Hockey, that ‘there would have been a legitimate justification for the government to say our debt, you know, our recovery, our economic recovery will be slower if we are running a big deficit and I think it [not proceeding with tax cuts] should have been considered as part of the mix’; and

(b)

calls on the Government to reconsider the tax cuts, in particular those for high-income earners.

Question negatived.
