Finance and Related Matters: Statements.
Senator O'Toole raised the PAYE issue and said our tax base is too low, but that is ridiculous. PAYE workers do not want to see their tax base being increased again. The last occasion on which this happened was a debilitating period and everyone felt miserable because their salaries were being cut and they could not spend what they earned. We do not want to return to that situation. The Government should, however, provide leadership concerning those who are earning extravagant salaries.
