It's with great reluctance that the coalition will not be supporting this amendment either. The Prime Minister 's broken promise means that delivering the stage 3 tax reforms as they've been legislated is now impossible. While we very much support the principle behind Senator Babet's amendment, as responsible economic managers, we can't support the amendment without knowing what the fiscal cost would be. The coalition is committed to going to the next election with a tax reform package that is fully costed and is in keeping with the stage 3 tax reforms. We remain committed to fighting bracket creep and enshrining aspiration, because strong leaders keep their promises even when it's hard to do so.

Question negatived.
