House debates Questions without Notice

Budget

Monday, 31 May 2010 House of Representatives

Kevin Rudd Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister

In response to the honourable member’s question, in the context of reviewing the Henry report on taxation the government over a large number of months considered the desirability of a public advertising campaign to underpin its response to the Henry report. That is the first part of the answer. The second part of the answer goes to the use of the particular exemption provisions to which the member refers. My advice is that that was done in response to the conclusion reached by the Special Minister of State and the Treasurer concerning the misinformation campaign which began to unfold. That is the answer to the honourable member’s question.
