My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. Can the Acting Prime Minister confirm that the government is about to drop the indexation of the passenger movement charge in response to arguments against it put by the federal coalition?
Wayne Swan Lilley, Australian Labor Party, Treasurer
There is legislation before the House and we will discuss it with the minor parties. We are interested in getting the legislation passed and we will see what the outcome is.
