My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. Does the Prime Minister stand by his commitment that, under a Labor government, the average rate of taxation as a share of GDP will not be increased above the level projected for the next three years in the 2007 Pre-Election Economic and Fiscal Outlook?

Kevin Rudd

Kevin Rudd Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister

Consistent with what I have said in answer to earlier questions, we stand by all of our pre-election commitments.
