My question is to the Treasurer. Does the Treasurer know which of his colleagues told the Australian newspaper, 'I hate the principle of taxing unrealised capital gains', as reported on today's front page? Given so many in the labour movement, including Paul Keating, have similar concerns, how does the Treasurer justify taxing Australians on money they have never actually received?
