Second Reading

Thursday, 28 August 2008 House of Representatives

No, the shadow Assistant Treasurer is again incorrect. The new government did not proceed with reversing all of the changes. The ones of a technical nature which made eminent sense, relating to family breakdowns, are excluded. So the shadow Assistant Treasurer is again, unfortunately, not on top of his brief. This was a clear election commitment and an important part of our savings package. I commend the bill to the House.

Question put:

That this bill be now read a second time.
