My question is to the Prime Minister. The National Foundation for Australian Women has warned that some women will be hit with an effective marginal tax rate of 100 per cent because of this government's tax increases, its cuts to family payments and its increases to university fees. Why is the Prime Minister shouting about millionaires paying a top marginal tax rate of 49½ per cent but saying nothing about the women who will pay an effective marginal tax rate of 100 per cent?
