There are two proposals to increase taxation in this parliament, and both of them come from that side of the House: the Leader of the Opposition's proposal to increase company tax on the largest, and medium sized, Australian companies and, in addition to that, to give a tax increase of up to $600 or $500 for people who are on the lowest incomes in our community.
