The Coalition are now moving on to tax. Sussan Ley:

My question is to the Prime Minister: During the government’s 3-day talk fest, the introduction of a new housing tax, new death tax, new wealth tax, new tradie tax, and new levies on Australian businesses were floated. Is the Prime Minister aware of any work the Treasurer has commissioned on these proposals?

There are heaps of interjections about this question and Milton Dick has to call for calm before Anthony Albanese gets up.

I thank the member for her question and for a question about tax policy, not from the government, but by people who attended a roundtable, maybe it was the Shadow Treasurer who was raising these things. (The Coalition objects to this)

Because there were people that the Shadow Treasurer, I heard him actually say, that everything was up for review. And they had an open mind. I do know this – that two days before the last election, the member for Hume (Angus Taylor), former shadow treasury minister, snuck out the Coalition costings.

And they revealed a $75 billion higher figure in personal income taxes. They went to the election on, including the former Deputy Leader of the Opposition, vote for us, you get $75…

Dick has to ask Taylor to withdraw a heckle and there are more interjections.

Albanese continues:

So, they had $75 billion in personal income tax increases over there, they had higher taxes on the resources sector, and on the manufacturing sector, because they wanted to abolish production tax credits which reduced taxes for the resources sector, they had higher taxes on motorists through their abolition of the EV concession that was put in place. This will be good….

Alex Hawke, the manager of opposition business gets up to do a point of order

He’s heckling me. I take a point of order in relevance. In no way was he asked about coalition policy. The only thing he has answered his question about, the Prime Minister, is Coalition policy. So he was asked about modelling. Is he aware of any modelling the Treasurer has done on socialist policies, yes I wasn’t invited. You’re correct.

Milton Dick then has to tell people it is not an open mic session and then says the prime minister has to be relevant.

Albanese:

I’m being directly relevant to what I was asked about, which was policies from non-government members raised last week. Now, I know that after their party room things are a bit difficult there, but we saw – we saw the Manager of Opposition Business just say he didn’t want to go to the roundtable. Well, talk to the bloke next to you. He was there. He was there. He got an invite. And he was keen, Mr Speaker. He even came to drinks at the Lodge and he was very welcome. He was very welcome. He was very welcome. He was… He was very (INTERJECTIONS) welcome. He was very welcome. And the – they also had of course a policy that they’re trying to implement tonight. The higher taxes on the housing construction industry by abolishing build to rent. We want to assist the building of more homes, they want to abolish those concessions. They also of course went through with higher student debts for more than 3 million Australians….

He is out of time.
