At the request of Senator Milne, I move: That the Senate—

(a) notes:

(i) the Abbott Government's failure to propose and deliver revenue measures that target the big end of town, instead of the sick, the young and the poor, and

(ii) the billions in foregone revenue from corporate tax avoidance in Australia that could be recouped simply by enforcing current laws; and

(b) calls on the Treasurer (Mr Hockey) to do more to crack down on corporate tax avoidance in Australia instead of persisting with cruel budget measures that have been rejected by the Australian people.

Question agreed to.
