QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator BELL (New South Wales—One Nation Whip) (14:38): My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. Under Labor, productivity in Australia is in freefall. Labor's big-taxing agenda punishes every investment productivity depends on.

Labor is making every part of the economy that drives productivity growth less attractive, with more regulation and higher taxes. Is it not the truth that Labor's budget is really the start of its new policy, a future made overseas, because this government is really only interested in fuelling its spending by taxing innovation and aspiration at the expense of making Australia a less attractive place to build, employ, work and grow?
