House debates Questions without Notice

Budget

Malcolm Turnbull Wentworth, Liberal Party, Shadow Treasurer

My question is to the Treasurer. I ask the Treasurer to confirm that his high-taxing budget will directly increase the price of alcohol, cars and, as the Prime Minister confirmed today, health insurance premiums. I ask the Treasurer: how can he reduce inflation by increasing prices? What kind of voodoo economics is he peddling? Doesn’t this show, yet again, the government has no decisive strategy to meet Australia’s economic challenges?
