My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister explain why his government is cutting $5,000 a year from a family earning $60,000 but giving a $2,600-a-year tax cut to an individual who is earning $300,000 a year?

The premise on which the Leader of the Opposition has asked the question is completely fallacious.
