Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:04): I am asked, I think, amongst that question— Senator Conroy: Stream of consciousness. Senator WONG: Stream of consciousness is probably the most polite way to put it. Thank you, Senator Conroy. That was a reference to taxation and I would remind the senator that he represents a party of a government that was far higher taxing than this government Senator Abetz: Oh, nonsense. Senator WONG: I will take that interjection from Senator Abetz. The PRESIDENT: Order! Ignore interjections. They are disorderly, Senator Wong. Senator WONG: Thank you, Mr President. Even some newspaper representatives who have currently entered the gallery might recognise that the tax to GDP ratio might be a reasonably accurate way of measuring the level of taxation. Who was the higher taxing Treasurer? Mr Costello, the one whose Charter of Budget Honesty you do not want to follow. But, of course, which is the one party that currently wants to increase taxes for companies? It is those opposite to pay for Tony Abbott's paid parental leave scheme. You want to jack up the company tax rate. (Time expired)
