Joel Fitzgibbon (Hunter, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Assistant Treasurer and Revenue) Share this | Hansard source

Given the hour, I will not continue the debate. I rose earlier because I was fearful that the Assistant Treasurer was not going to respond at all to either the concerns raised by me or those raised by the member for Kennedy. But, while I am on my feet, I just want to acknowledge the fact that the cooperation we have received from Minister Dutton’s office, with respect to briefings on these difficult tax matters, has been better than that which we received from Minister Brough. But it is obvious that in this case there have been a number of shortcomings in the availability of information that we have sought from both the minister and his department.

Question agreed to.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.
