House of RepresentativesThursday 4 June 2026

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr TIM WILSON (Goldstein) (14:09): My question is to the Prime Minister. Today the Albanese Labor government voted 11 times against lower taxes. By voting against the coalition's tax-back guarantee, Labor is locking in higher taxes for Australian workers year after year.

Will the Prime Minister be up-front with Australians and admit that his government voted to steal hundreds of billions of dollars in extra taxes from hardworking Australians? Mr Burke: Mr Speaker— The SPEAKER: Yeah, I've got some problems with this one. We'll hear from the Leader of the House.

Mr Burke: There's clear unparliamentary language towards the end of that question, Speaker. The SPEAKER: Yes, so we'll just withdraw that part of the question. Mr TIM WILSON: Withdraw.

Take without election mandate. The SPEAKER: Alright. We got there in the end.

Mr Abdo interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Calwell will leave the chamber under 94(a). That is highly disorderly. The member for Calwell then left the chamber.

An honourable member interjecting— The SPEAKER: I don't care whose birthday it is. And the member for Bruce can put down his hand. Mr Hill interjecting— The SPEAKER: The member for Bruce will leave the chamber under 94(a).

Honestly! The member for Bruce then left the chamber. The SPEAKER: The Prime Minister has the call.
