          @BernardKeane and that is before we take fall in tax revenue estimates on back of significant falls in commodity prices into account.

          @BernardKeane removal of carbon & mining tax obviously had the effect of reducing growth in tax as share of GDP.

          @BernardKeane And unlike Labor which banked on indefinite bracket creep in their revenue estimates we put 23.9% cap on tax as share of GDP.
