Irrespective of the tactics tonight, this government will not drown out the voice of the silent majority of my electorate. The increase in the luxury car tax has put a burden on my growers and graziers, whose only accessible way to town is by four-wheel drive. The impost of the flood levy announced on 27 January is expected to raise $1.8 billion, and all of that is coming out of the pockets of my mums and dads. The tax increase on company cars announced on Tuesday, 10 May is expected to raise over $970 million on the forward estimates. That will come out of Australia's pockets. The abolition of the entrepreneurs tax offset announced on Tuesday, 10 May is expected to raise $365 million over the forward estimates. (Quorum formed)
