My question is to the Assistant Treasurer. Can the Assistant Treasurer rule out any changes to the tax treatment of the family home?

Daniel Mulino Fraser, Australian Labor Party, Assistant Treasurer

I thank the honourable member for the question. It reminds me of that old saying that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. I've just received four questions asking me to rule things out. I'll say very briefly: our tax policies are very clear. We took them to the election. They're the policies that I'm implementing. We've already delivered a HECS cut. We've already delivered a freeze on the beer excise. As Assistant Treasurer, I keep working on those policies every day.
