Di Natale, Sen Richard

Senator DI NATALE (Victoria—Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:18): My question is to the Minister for Finance, representing the Treasurer, and it's a very simple and direct question. Minister, can you explain why your US-style tax cuts that give someone, like a stockbroker or a politician, on $200,000 an extra $7,000 in their pocket while someone, say, a graduate childcare worker, on $40,000 gets only a few extra hundred dollars? Can you explain why that doesn't make inequality much worse than it is today?
