My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. This week the minister has on four occasions refused to echo the Prime Minister's guarantee that lower business taxes result in higher wages. On Tuesday, a secret survey revealed that four in five businesses ruled out increasing wages or employing more Australians as a result of the Turnbull government's $65 billion handout, and today it's been revealed that, in the BCA's letter to senators, big business deleted commitments to create Australian jobs, increase wages or even pay tax. How can the minister continue to tell Australian workers that the Turnbull government's $65 billion tax cut for big business will benefit them, when businesses clearly disagree?
