Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Minister for Rural Health, Minister for Sport, Minister for Regional Communications and Deputy Leader of The Nationals) (14:48): The budget is a little while away, and I don't want to steal the Treasurer's thunder, but today I think it's appropriate that I do make a prebudget announcement in relation to any suggestion that a chair tax is in this federal government's budget in a month's time. The PRESIDENT: Senator Di Natale, on a point of order? Senator Di Natale: That sounds like an announcement that they're abolishing the GST on chairs and sofas, so I suggest everybody go out and buy themselves one. The PRESIDENT: Senator Di Natale, that is not a point of order. Senator McKENZIE: Unfortunately, Senator Di Natale did not let me finish. Note to Senator Leyonhjelm: I know you would like to get rid of the 10 per cent GST on the chairs; that will remain post budget. Senator Di Natale, the only party in the Senate that supports a sugar tax is the Greens. If you look at the Greens' electoral fortunes over the recent past, it will show they are in decline. Clearly Australians don't support the Greens and their support for a sugar tax. I can absolutely commit to the Senate and to Senator Leyonhjelm we will not be introducing a sugar tax.
