Summary

Edit

Originally a Censure motion, proposed by Labor Shadow Treasurer, Chris Bowen, an amendment was proposed by the Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull to read:

This House welcomes and supports the Governments economic plan for jobs and growth.

This vote was on whether or not to accept this amendment.

The original Censure motion read as follows:

That the House;

(1) notes:

(a) in Question Time yesterday, the Government refused to outline the 10-year cost of the centrepiece of its Budget, its 10-year tax cut for big business;

(b) in an extraordinary interview on national television today, the Prime Minister declined on 18 separate occasions to tell Australians how much his 10-year tax cut for big business will cost, with the Prime Minister also stating 'the Treasury has not identified the dollar cost of this particular item'; and

(c) in Question Time today, the Prime Minister repeatedly refused to provide the Parliament and the Australian people with the cost of the centrepiece of his Budget;

(2) further notes, if the Prime Minister does not know the cost of the centrepiece of his Budget, he is incompetent, or, if he does know, he is being untruthful; and

(3) censures the Prime Minister for hiding the true cost and fundamental unfairness of his centrepiece 10-year tax cut for big business.
