Joe Hockey (North Sydney, Liberal Party, Shadow Treasurer) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Treasurer. Now that the Treasurer has refused to rule out new taxes on the family home, I refer to the fact that state Labor governments in New South Wales introduced taxes on the family home and a vendor tax, and that the state Labor government in Western Australia attempted to introduce a property tax but failed. Treasurer, how can your government be trusted not to introduce new property taxes when it is clearly the form of the Labor Party to do so?
