Senator NASH (New South Wales—Deputy Leader of The Nationals in the Senate and Minister for Rural Health) (14:12): I can indicate to the senator that I am not aware of that particular comment, so I cannot give her a view on that. But can I be very clear, as the Prime Minister has been clear and others making comment both in the House of Representatives and in the Senate have: there is nothing on the table regarding the GST from the government. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my left! Senator NASH: It is most interesting to see that those on the other side both in this place and in the other place are embarking on a scare campaign for the Australian people. It is a scare campaign because there is no basis to the assertions and the hypotheticals that those opposite are raising. It takes a coalition government to be prepared to have a sensible, measured national debate about taxation issues. Those on the other side would much prefer to talk about an increase in the carbon tax and talk about an increase in the smoking tax, none of which are based on anything that is going to provide a benefit to the Australian people. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my left! Senator Cameron, that includes you. Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my left and my right!
