I know it's hard to stop the minister when he's on a socialist rant, but we'll try again. Despite posting a $71 million profit in 2014-15, News Corp has paid no net corporate tax in four years. Given that some of Australia's largest companies are not paying any corporate tax, why is the government forcing working- and middle-class Australians to pay an additional $300 a year in tax while pressing ahead with a $65 billion tax cut for big business?
