My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to a plea from the Holdsworth family of Nelson in the Hobart Mercury:

Kevin Rudd don’t hit us with luxury car tax on our essential piece of equipment, our Tarago. We are a family of six including one disabled child. This is not a luxury. For us a luxury is a holiday or rump steak. Maybe we should buy a non-luxury car with roof racks and put the wheelchair and two kids on the roof. Please don’t make life for bigger families harder than it is.

Does the Prime Minister believe that this family and the many families with disabled children around the country deserve to be hit by his new Tarago tax?
