Mr Speaker, during question time the Treasurer, in answer to a question from the Leader of the Nationals, said that the coalition introduced a luxury car tax. According to the Senate Standing Committee on Economics and my knowledge of it, the Labor government, under Hawke and Keating, introduced the luxury car tax in 1986 and increased it again in 1990. Would it be an appropriate time to ensure that the Treasurer does not mislead the House and corrects the record?

The member for Maranoa knows that that was not a question to me about administration.
