Mr SWAN (Lilley—Deputy Prime Minister and Treasurer) (14:58): We have put on our website the modelling for this tax. He knows that, but we have just got more distortion and more lies from those opposite. He also knows that we are supplied with commercial-in-confidence information which, if we published it, would have major effects on the market, and we simply are not that irresponsible. But the fact is that most of this money will be paid by the largest miners in this country. Of course, we now know the lies that have been told by Fortescue have been exposed— Mr Dutton interjecting— The SPEAKER: The Treasurer will resume his seat. The member for Dickson knows that he could get up and approach the dispatch box, but he continues to think that he can raise points of order by interjection. That is very foolish. He is now warned. The Treasurer will withdraw the remark, but I can indicate to the member for Dickson: it is to spite him that I have ruled that the Treasurer will withdraw. The Treasurer will withdraw and the Treasurer has the call after the withdrawal to continue his response. Mr SWAN: Yes, Mr Speaker, I withdraw. The untruths that have been put forward by Fortescue have now been exposed at a parliamentary committee in this House. Fortescue went around and said they were a small miner and they expected to pay the tax. When they turned up here they admitted that they would not pay the tax and they also admitted that they have never, ever paid any company tax. So their opposition has been based on the fact that they do not want to pay any tax. The effective tax rates paid by miners are lower than the statutory rate, and there is a legitimate reason for that. Because mining is very capital intensive they get a lot of deductions, and that means that in the early stages successful miners do not necessarily pay their company tax. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with that at all. What I am saying is that, when there are super profits that are unexpected, the Australian people should get a share of those for the mineral resources they own 100 per cent. And guess what? The mining industry actually agrees with that—except Fortescue, who act in their own interests and not in the national interest.
