I thank Senator McKim for his ongoing interest in stage 3 tax cuts. As the senator will know, our policy on these tax cuts hasn't changed, and our focus on tax reform is in the area of ensuring multinationals pay their fair share of tax and around some of the changes that we've recently announced around high-balance superannuation accounts. We have important policies that go to that point. I'm not dismissing the point that Senator McKim raised about other areas of pressing pressure and need in the budget, including for women and women's housing. That is a real priority, and that's why we'd really like to see this Senate pass the Housing Australia Future Fund in this fortnight so that we can make sure that some of the allocations for that go absolutely and specifically to that demographic group.
