Dutton, Peter Craig MP

Mr DUTTON (Dickson—Leader of the Opposition) (14:01): My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. Acting Prime Minister, Australians are suffering under your government in relation to rising cost-of-living pressures, at the supermarket, in their electricity bills, in their gas bills, at the bowser, when they renovate their homes and certainly in relation to the increasing mortgage payments that they have to make under your government. With these increasing pressures on Australian households, will the government rule out tax increases, which would further increase cost-of-living pressures, in the upcoming budget?
