House debates Questions without Notice

Taxation

Monday, 22 June 2026 House of Representatives

Ben Small

Ben Small Forrest, Liberal Party, Shadow Assistant Minister for Electoral Matters

2:55 pm

My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister has said, time and time again, that he has changed his position on his toxic taxes, yet those taxes on savings, investments, housing and businesses continue to rise. Will the Prime Minister just cut to the chase and, like Julia Gillard before him, admit he's another Labor liar on taxes?

Milton Dick Speaker

Order! I'll deal with this. The Leader of the House?

Mr Tony Burke

Mr Tony Burke Watson, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House

Speaker, you've put every member on notice for a long time on that issue.

Milton Dick

Milton Dick Speaker

Yes. The Leader of the Opposition has upheld the standards of the House twice today, so I'm going to ask the member for Forrest to do the same, to withdraw.

Ben Small

Ben Small Forrest, Liberal Party, Shadow Assistant Minister for Electoral Matters

I withdraw.

Milton Dick

Milton Dick Speaker

And leave the chamber under 94(a).

The membe r for Forrest then left the chamber.

We're moving to the next question. We're not having that disruption for question time.
