I can see that those opposite missed, on 2 May 2010, the Rudd government announced Stronger, Fairer. Simpler: a tax plan for our future. By making our tax system simpler and fairer for all individuals and businesses, our proposed tax reforms will go a long way towards making our economy stronger and preparing us for the years ahead. A reform program of this significance would normally involve a public information campaign. I note that I am not the minister with responsibility for the Treasury, but I would make it clear that reforms of this magnitude would normally include a public information campaign. Of course, those opposite would remember the $400 million GST campaign. This government will go in to bat for the national interest.
