My question is to the Treasurer. Is it the case that his fuel tax is a progressive tax? I could not find it in here; they bought them all to stop us from reading them!

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop

Mrs Bronwyn Bishop Speaker

I call the Honourable the Treasurer, and I would advise the member for Chifley.

Joe Hockey

Joe Hockey North Sydney, Liberal Party, Treasurer

I understand it is selling quite well, and I am betting it is going to sell better than the member for McMahon's book as well.
