QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Mr HASTIE (Canning) (14:22): My question is to the Prime Minister. On 26 May, the Prime Minister said, 'We are also changing the capital gains tax regime to go back to 1999.' Today, at Senate estimates, Secretary to the Treasury Jenny Wilkinson rejected the Prime Minister's assertion by confirming a minimum 30 per cent tax rate was not part of the pre-1999 system.

Will the Prime Minister correct the Hansard and admit his assault on hardworking Australians is much more punitive than the pre-1999 system?
