Thank you, Mr Speaker. The point I'm making is the member for Fairfax on Sunday said, 'Rule nothing out.' By Wednesday he couldn't stick to the same position. This is a government which cuts taxes for all 14 million Australian taxpayers. That side of the House went to the election with a policy to increase taxes on every single Australian taxpayer and, even after doing that, still went to the election with bigger deficits and more debt. So I won't be taking lectures from the member of parliament more responsible than anyone for their nuclear meltdown on 3 May.
