  • <p class="italic">&#160;&#160;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(1) notes that in an extraordinary interview with David Speers on Sky News this morning:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(a) the Prime Minister said that Treasury &#8220;has not identified the dollar cost&#8221; of the centrepiece of his Budget, the 10-year tax cut for big business:</p>
  • <p class="italic">(i) but a moment later, the Prime Minister said Treasury had modelled the cost; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">(ii) yet later, the Prime Minister said the cost of his centrepiece 10-year tax cut for big business was outlined on page 3-11 of Budget Paper No. 1 despite the fact, that page does not mention companies or corporations or small businesses even once; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">(b) the Prime Minister said the $55 billion cost of his centrepiece 10-year tax cut for big business nominated by economist Chris Richardson &#8220;may well be right&#8221;;</p>
  • <p class="italic">(2) condemns the Prime Minister for delivering a Budget which is a fraud on the Australian people by having a centrepiece without a cost attached; and</p>
  • <p class="italic">(3) calls on the Prime Minister to attend the House to finally come clean about the 10-year cost for the 10-year tax cut for big business.</p>
  • <p>Leave not granted.</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the member for McMahon from moving the following motion forthwith:</p>

  • <p>It takes a particular level of incompetence to bring down a budget with a centrepiece uncosted&#8212;incompetence and a fraud by this Prime Minister.</p>
  • <p class="speaker">Christopher Pyne</p>
  • <p>I move:</p>
  • <p class="italic">That the member be no longer heard.</p>
