QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Prime Minister) (14:29): He referred to the previous answer, so I'll take up where I was rudely interrupted last time around. Daniel Petre, the co-founder of AirTree Ventures, runs a company that helps founders to launch and grow their companies. Opposition members interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Leader of the Nationals in the House and the member for Goldstein are warned.

Mr ALBANESE: This is what he had to say: I call complete— BS— that founders … are saying they are going to move overseas because of tax. He said: I think you need to … take a Bex and have a lie down. … I think it is just appalling that you have this … hyperbole going on without people firstly thinking through … what might be fair in this country … Mr Tim Wilson interjecting— The SPEAKER: I just warned the member for Goldstein, and you carry on with that sort of behaviour.

You are going to leave the chamber under 94(a). I think everyone heard me say very clearly that you and the member for Gippsland were warned. The member for Gippsland got the message, but you didn't.

You've had an extremely good go at this, but you're not going to continue to disrupt question time with that sort of behaviour. The member for Goldstein then left the chamber. Mr ALBANESE: Jevon Le Roux, who's the co-founder and CEO of Keeyu, said this: But here's what I don't see anyone posting about.

The government gives founders 43% back on every R&D dollar spent. Today. Not in five years.

Not when you exit. Right now. You fill it in.

You submit it. You get it back in 30 days.
