My question is to the minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. In February this year, when asked when he could rule out a tax increase in the budget, Prime Minister Turnbull said:

We have no plans to increase tax—indeed, all of our plans for tax were set out in the budget last year …

Given that Mr Turnbull has now raised an additional $14 billion in new taxes, when he made his statement, was Prime Minister Turnbull simply not telling the truth?
