My question is to the Treasurer. Australian workers pay $176 billion in tax every year, but ATO data reveals one in four public and foreign companies earning over $100 million in Australia pay no tax at all. Why is the Treasurer determined to hit workers with a 15 per cent GST, which will put up the cost of everything, instead of making large corporations just pay their fair share of tax?
