Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:11): That's not right. No, I can't confirm that, Senator McCarthy. In fact, I dispute it; it's quite wrong. The Labor Party is the party that wants to— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I'm having trouble hearing. Order! Senator Wong, Senator Macdonald, Senator Cormann! I'm having trouble hearing Senator Brandis. Senator Wong: It's a tax hike. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, please! Senator BRANDIS: So, Senator— Senator Wong: He can't tell a lie. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, please! At least let the minister get a sentence out before the interjections commence again. Honourable senators interjecting— Senator Wong: He doesn't know what's in his budget. The PRESIDENT: Order across the chamber! Senator Cormann: We know what's in the budget. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cormann! Senator Wong: It's a tax increase on the Medicare levy. Senator Cormann: We are— The PRESIDENT: I'm happy to wait! Order! We can lose all of question time if these interjections continue. Senator Brandis. Senator BRANDIS: There is only one side of this chamber that is devoted to increasing taxes, and that is the Australian Labor Party, which has promised $164 billion worth of higher taxes. Meanwhile, this government has cut personal income taxes and has cut corporate income taxes, and, as you acknowledged in your initial question, Senator McCarthy, the Prime Minister has foreshadowed additional income tax cuts for Australian workers and families. The PRESIDENT: A final supplementary question, Senator McCarthy.
