My question is for the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Gallagher. On Insiders on Sunday, David Speers asked the Treasurer, 'Will we see anything further on tax in your next budget?' The Treasurer replied, 'Well, it remains to be seen.' But on Sky News on 8 August the Prime Minister said, 'the only tax policy that we are implementing is the one that we took to the election'. Minister, who is right—the Prime Minister or the Treasurer?
