QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:03): The Australians who are investing in vintage cars will also be the Australians who get new and permanent tax cuts as a consequence of both this package and tax cuts that will be in place from 1 July this year. If I may remind you, they are tax cuts that you voted against and propose to vote against as a consequence of Senator 'High Taxes' Hume and the policy she took to the election.

We know that Australians, whether they are investing in vintage or non-vintage cars, will get the benefit of tax cuts that the Labor government is delivering. I would just remind those opposite that they were gearing up to vote against the working Australians tax offset. Yet again, the coalition, who are supposed to be the party of lower taxes, are demonstrating that they are the party of higher taxes.

(Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Minister, please withdraw the additions to Senator Hume's name. Senator Wong: I withdraw.
