Order! Members on my right. We're just going to reset. The same rules apply to both sides. The member for Goldstein will begin his question again and get to the question.

My question is to the Prime Minister. Janet from Queensland has a child living with Down syndrome. When she drew up her will many years ago, it included plans for a testamentary discretionary trust to protect her daughter. Now trusts like hers are set to be slugged with a new 30 per cent tax. Prime Minister, how much more will families caring for people with disabilities have to pay in tax because of your budget of broken promises and higher taxes?

We've made it very clear that there are exemptions for vulnerable people. That was there in the budget announcement on the Tuesday night. What the constituent from Brisbane shouldn't have to put up with is people promoting something in order to try to secure political advantage by scaring vulnerable people.
