The member asked a question about the deficit levy, which he knows comes in for an income of $180,000—that is the top marginal tax rate. On 3AW on 21 April 2016 Neil Mitchell asked the Leader of the Opposition a question:

Is $180,000 a year rich?

The Leader of the Opposition said:

No, it's not …
