QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:45): I'm asked about tax policy and about whether changes should be made to tax policy. Indeed, the—I'm not sure of all their titles; whatever the title is of the member of the National Party opposite—member for Gippsland's party was a part of having the review that was called for, voted for and conducted by the Senate, along with their sometimes partners in the Liberal Party and also the Greens political party.

Indeed, one of the senators of those opposite, Senator Kovacic, said: We should not be afraid to consider tax changes, whether they be capping the number of properties that can be negatively geared … A serious plan by this parliament has to deal with the housing crisis and would go a long way to restoring the electorate's faith in political leadership solving big problems and delivering reform.

That is what they had to say. Now, until 1985, of course, there was— The SPEAKER: Order! The Prime Minister will pause.

He's concluded his answer. We'll move to the next question. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order!

Members on my left, we're going to regain order in the House. The member for Bullwinkel will be shown some courtesy.
