Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Treasurer. I refer to reports today that there is 'a tidal wave of concern' amongst his own MPs about his plan to increase the GST. Why are government members more concerned about their own jobs at the next election rather than the household budgets of ordinary Australians? Will the Treasurer finally rule out increasing the price of everything by increasing the GST to 15 per cent?
