QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms ALDRED (Monash—Opposition Whip) (15:13): My question is to the Minister for Small Business. There are over 60,000 small businesses in the construction sector that operate as trusts. Master Builders Australia said there is 'a complete lack of practical understanding of the cumulative pressures the government is placing on small businesses'.

How much more tax is Labor planning on collecting from small businesses in the building sector, and how much will that add to the cost of housing?
