Mr BANDT (Melbourne) (14:19): My question is to the Prime Minister. Australia has a proud history of egalitarianism. We can look after everyone in our community because of our progressive tax system where people who earn more pay a higher rate of tax. But your new flat tax plan is the end of progressive taxation in this country. How is it fair that someone earning $200,000 a year pays the same rate of tax as someone who is earning just above the minimum wage? Why do you want to be the Prime Minister that killed egalitarianism?
