QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr CHESTER (Gippsland—Deputy Leader of the National Party) (14:35): My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. This morning, the opposition leader and I met Paul, a Bungendore farmer who's worried about Labor's broken promises— Ms Catherine King: Who else was in the background? The SPEAKER: Order!

The minister for infrastructure is warned. The member for Gippsland will— Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! No.

We're going to do this the proper way, and it applies to both sides of the chamber. Out of respect for the member for Gippsland, he'll begin his question again. Mr CHESTER: My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.

This morning, the opposition leader and I met Paul, a Bungendore farmer who's worried about Labor's broken promises and higher taxes. Will the minister confirm that more than half of Australian farmers are not eligible for the capital gains tax concession, exposing them to massively higher tax bills when transferring family farms to their children?
