Cormann, Sen Mathias

Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Minister for Finance and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:40): The short answer is: the government will not back Greens policy. But the government of course will continue to work with the states on sensible tax reform to make our tax system more growth friendly so that we can continue to build a stronger, more prosperous economy where every Australian has the best possible opportunity to get ahead. The PRESIDENT: Senator Whish-Wilson, a supplementary question.
