I ask the minister, notwithstanding the government's position, whether the proposed forum on taxation should be prohibited from looking at a mining super profits tax, as proposed by Treasury? I further ask: does the government support discussion at this forum of a sovereign wealth tax, as proposed by the Greens, the Australian Industry Group and, amongst others, Mr Malcolm Turnbull?
