Richard Colbeck (Tasmania, Liberal Party) | Hansard source

Thank you, Senator Scarr. Fifty times they said they would not make changes to capital gains tax. They said they would not make changes to other taxes, and then they did that in the budget. This is a dishonest government. You cannot trust a single thing this government say, whether it's defending the changes that they're making now or anything else they say, because we know that, when they want your vote, they'll say what they think you want to hear, and then, when they get back into government, as they've done on two occasions now, they do the exact opposite. This is a dishonest government, and they deserve the ignominy that's being thrust upon them by the Australian people.(Time expired)
