PAYROLL TAX
I have a supplementary question. Was the Liberal Party promise in this document to reduce taxes to small business just another Liberal lie? The SPEAKER : I inform the Treasurer, as I inform this house, that an opinion is being sought and it is up to the Treasurer whether he wants to answer the question. Mr C.C. PORTER

I am aware of the promise to make a $100 million cut to payroll tax and I am aware that we have a full term of government in which to fulfil it. I am also aware that we are the most tax-competitive jurisdiction in Australia for business. I will answer those questions all week! I am sad that we do not sit for another four weeks!
