My question is to the Prime Minister. Over the last 10 years, the cost of fruit has risen by 43 per cent. The cost of vegetables has risen by 34 per cent. So, in the interests of open debate, Prime Minister, why exactly is your government now contemplating a 15 per cent price rise in fresh food in Australia?

The honourable member should recall that the leading advocate of a 15 per cent GST on a broader base is in fact the Labor Premier of South Australia.
