My question is to the Prime Minister. Australia's billionaires increased their wealth by almost $30 million a day in the last year, according to a new Oxfam report. They now hold more wealth than the bottom 40 per cent of the population combined, while everyday Australians struggle to get ahead. Will your government implement a billionaires wealth tax so that all Australians have what they need to live a good life?
