My question is to the Leader of the Government in the Senate, the Minister for Finance and the Public Service and the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Cormann. Minister, in your areas of responsibility, could you please indicate which is the finest achievement of the Liberal Democrats in my five years in the Senate?

Is it the backpackers tax deal to save farmers from union harassment and to limit the sharing of personal financial information of taxpayers? Is it the delay in the cuts to the small business capital gains tax concession? Is it the expansion of allowable withdrawals in superannuation or the broadening of deductions for personal contributions to superannuation? Is it the cut-off of childcare subsidies for those with incomes over $350,000? Is it the 50-year lease over the Malabar rifle range? Or is it the reporting in the budget of government spending, tax and debt in real per capita terms?
