Ms GILLARD (Lalor—Prime Minister) (14:13): I remind the shadow Treasurer that it is 2013. So I am not sure why he is wandering around with 2009 figures. Maybe it is time to catch up. It is 2013 and apparently he last thought about these issues in 2009. Well, there are a few years of work to catch up on. That is the kind of performance we see only too often from the shadow Treasurer. Actually thinking deeply about policy, actually producing figures and costings, actually pointing to savings is apparently beyond him. So I say to the shadow Treasurer: it is not 2009; it is 2013. Get yourself the most recent information. And I say to the shadow Treasurer, too— Mr Pyne: On a point of order, Madam Speaker: the Prime Minister could at least try and answer the question as to whether she believes Australians are paying too much tax or not enough tax. Ms GILLARD: I was just coming to the question of tax. I am very pleased that this government has turned in a performance of less tax as a percentage of GDP than the Howard government did. Yes, the Howard government was high taxing—yes, it was. Yes, the shadow Treasurer was part of that high-taxing government and at the same time was ripping people's wages to shreds through Work Choices. That is the legacy of the shadow Treasurer and the Leader of the Opposition. Fortunately, between a new workplace relations system of decency and fairness and a lower taxation system as a percentage of GDP, we have done better for families around the nation and I am proud that we have.
