      So why @AngusTaylorMP are you taxing us far more as a % of GDP than Labor ever did? & you still blew out the deficit.pic.twitter.com/5TJFlO6Wfr

      @BernardKeane For an accurate comparison you need to look at the trajectory we were on under Labor. 1/2

      not sure how repeating the word "trajectory" makes 22.1% magically lower than 21.6% @MathiasCormann

          @BernardKeane You can't look at a moment in time in isolation of the two alternative forward trajectories.

          so, are you going to take more from the economy as a % of GDP than Labor did this year via tax, @MathiasCormann?

          @BernardKeane No. Check Labor's last Budget (May 13), Check their tax receipts as a share of GDP trajectory. 13-14: 22.2%, We did 21.4% 1/2
