I want to know what the Labor Party thinks is too good in jewellery. I want to know what the Labor Party thinks is too good in cars. I want to know what the Labor Party thinks is too good for somebody in art work. I want to know when they decide to make a value judgement on my life and other people’s lives that it is too good for me and that they should tax it. That is why this needs to be stopped. That is why this needs to be voted against—not only because it is ridiculous and stupid and not thought out, and not even because you cannot get your own details right; it is because it is an anachronism that goes back to Australian society and starts once more to divide people.
