Taxation

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker

3:15 pm

I have today received a letter from the Leader of the Opposition concerning a discussion of a matter of public importance, namely:

The Government prioritising tax breaks for some of the largest corporations in the world while cutting payments, assistance and tax breaks for small businesses, families, workers and the most vulnerable across Australia.

I call upon those members who support that proposition to rise in their places.

More than the number of members required by the standing orders having risen in their places—

Christopher Pyne

Christopher Pyne Sturt, Liberal Party, Minister for Education

Madam Speaker, under standing order 46(e) I move:

That the business of the day be called on.

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker

The question is that the motion be agreed to.
