QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:04): We will not be committing to simply not proceeding with tax arrangements because you don't agree with them. Senator WONG: You don't agree with—the reality is trusts are used by a very small proportion of Australians. Senator WONG: First, in relation to women's safety—I will add to this if I'm incorrect—we have invested in excess of $4 billion into measures to support women's safety and to confront violence.

So let's be clear—everybody in this chamber has the same view when it comes to family violence. That's the first point. The second point is that I appreciate the opposition are looking for ways to argue— Senator WONG: I will take the interjection from the leader.

They want us to scrap a tax on trusts. And we have said we are ensuring a fairer tax system. (Time expired)
