Senator GALLAGHER (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Finance, Minister for Women, Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Vice-President of the Executive Council) (14:13): Thank you, and I welcome the opportunity to talk about Labor's tax plan—the tax plan that the opposition is now supporting, the tax plan that the opposition is now accepting is the right thing to do, is the right policy to put in place to ensure that people are paying lower taxes and getting more money into their pockets sooner and a fairer share of those tax cuts than they would have got under the plan of Scott Morrison from five years ago. The PRESIDENT: Minister Gallagher, please resume you seat. Senator Cash. Senator Cash: President, the point of order is in relation to relevance. Unless we are playing word association games in the Senate, the question was very clear: how much extra will Australians pay over the next 10 years because you have broken your promise to the Australian people? The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Cash. Your question does go to tax cuts, but I will remind the minister of the specifics of your question. Minister Gallagher. Senator GALLAGHER: I only had 36 seconds to lead into that answer— Senator Cash interjecting— Senator GALLAGHER: I'm sure the good senator has read the Treasury analysis. Under our plan the vast majority of taxpayers will pay less tax and pay less tax over 10 years than they would have under the Morrison plan. That's because ours is a better plan that gives bigger tax cuts to more Australians. Some 11½ million more taxpayers will get a bigger tax cut under our tax plan. I know the opposition want to concentrate on what might happen in 10 years time because they don't want to focus on what's going to happen right now. The PRESIDENT: Minister, please resume your seat. Senator Cash. Senator Cash: Again, President, the point of order is in relation to relevance. Again, unless we are playing a word association game in the Senate, this is about the broken promise and how much more Australians will pay under your government over the next 10 years. The PRESIDENT: Thank you, Senator Cash. I believe Minister Gallagher did go to that just prior to you standing up. Minister, please continue. Senator GALLAGHER: I did go to that point, and the Treasury analysis is very clear on this. I don't know how many of you have read it before you decided that you would oppose it and then decide you would support our tax cuts, but that goes to exactly the question that Senator Cash asked. The vast majority will pay less over the next 10 years. It also pre-supposes no further tax changes in the next 10 years. We've already proven that we'll be focused on making sure that we return bracket creep and do it in a fair way that's responsible to the budget. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Cash, a first supplementary?
