The first thing I would say to Senator Wong is: if the horse is truly dead, it won't mind the flogging. If Senator Leyonhjelm were here, as a vet, he would confirm that scientific assessment that I've just shared with the chamber.

Of course we want to take the company tax cuts, legislated as an important part of our economic achievement, to the next election.
