Senator CORMANN (Western Australia—Leader of the Government in the Senate, Minister for Finance, Special Minister of State and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:03): Repeating a lie doesn't make it true. We know that Bill Shorten thinks that continuing to mislead the Australian people will somehow win him votes. He knows that nearly half of the budget costs of our business tax cuts go to small- and medium-sized businesses, because today none other than Bill Shorten has announced that he's going to whack small- and medium-sized business with higher taxes. And do you know what? He didn't ask a single person in this room whether that was a good idea. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Cormann, please resume your seat. Senator Wong on a point of order. Senator Wong: A point of order on direct relevance. I know Senator Cormann does like to talk about the Labor Party. We're asking him about Republican Senator Marco Rubio's comments that there is 'no evidence that the money's been massively poured back into the American worker'. That was the primary question. The supplementary obviously referenced that. I'd ask the minister to return to the question. The PRESIDENT: You've kindly reminded the minister of the question. At the end of the question you asked, 'Can you confirm?' and, I think, the minister is directly relevant to that part of the question. Senator CORMANN: I was, of course, directly answering the question. The evidence is clear that in the United States lower taxes on businesses have led to more investment, stronger growth, more jobs and higher wages. We all remember that Senator Cameron said that he was consulted. Maybe that was because Mr Shorten was worried, because Senator Cameron in the past has referred to lobotomised zombies and what we're hearing in the media is that the Labor caucus has gone back to being lobotomised zombies— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Keneally, a final supplementary question.
