I'm just making the point that I know that Senator Hume thinks that pointing at me and yelling at me is going to make us all forget that she went to the last election advocating for higher taxes for working people, higher taxes for all Australians, higher personal income tax, more taxes on resources and manufacturing, higher taxes on motorists and higher taxes on housing construction. This was the economic policy platform that they took to the last election, and they rewarded her by making her the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party. Goodness me! And now, under the leadership of Senator Hume and Mr Taylor—if you can call it that—they're going to vote against tax cuts again.
