My question is to the Minister for Finance, Senator Cormann. The Prime Minister, the Treasurer and the Minister for Finance have repeatedly refused to be up-front about the cost of the government's personal income tax plan. Will the government finally tell the parliament the year-by-year cost of each element of its personal income tax plan? Why is the Turnbull government willing to spend taxpayer money to undermine the independent Parliamentary Budget Office costings of Labor's policies, but not be up-front about the costings of its own?
