House debates Questions without Notice

Budget

Wednesday, 24 May 2017 House of Representatives

Chris Bowen

Chris Bowen McMahon, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Treasurer

My question is to the Treasurer. I ask again: why did the Treasurer, in question time yesterday, use a figure of $1.2 billion, which represents only nine months of payments, compared with the full 12-month figure reported by the banks to the Australian stock exchange? Was the Treasurer seeking to paper over the $2 billion black hole in the bank tax?
