My question is to the Minister for Finance and the Special Minister of State, Senator Cormann. It concerns liberal values, as do my supplementary questions. Last week the Treasurer said:

So, if anyone thinks that higher taxes … is a pathway to prosperity, you're dreaming.

This week, the Liberal Party is shepherding bills through the Senate that increase taxes by more than $600 million over the forward estimates period. Given this, how can the public trust you to represent liberal values?
