My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Wong. Minister, the Prime Minister has claimed that his government's budget measures are about intergenerational equity, but 20-year-old Anthony Kolmac has said that the government tax hikes will:

significantly hinder my ability to create wealth as it will ultimately delay the process (to save for a deposit) significantly. I will have to save even more money to be able to afford what I would have once been able to -afford a lot earlier.

How can the government call these tax hikes 'intergenerational equity' when young Australians like Anthony are being punished the most?
