House debates Appropriation Bill (No. 1) 2009-2010

Consideration in Detail

Thursday, 18 June 2009 House of Representatives

Tony Smith

Tony Smith Casey, Liberal Party, Shadow Assistant Treasurer

10:49 am

Can I perhaps try and get to the obvious point in a different way. Can the minister confirm that, firstly, with respect to budget decisions, the government talks about what a behavioural effect will be? Can he acknowledge that that is the case? Secondly, can he tell the House, as the then responsible minister and now as the Minister representing the Treasurer, whether when he agreed to the decision he anticipated any share schemes being suspended on budget night?
