QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator HUME (Victoria—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): How insultingly smug. It's clear that the widow tax was actually a deliberate design feature of the Albanese government's heartless tax grab, along with your death tax. It was either rushed and incompetent or it was tricky and mean. Are you only allegedly planning to change these arrangements because you have been found out?
