Senator Leyonhjelm asks whether Labor has withheld their alternate budget costings, because it would result in a $5,000 tax hit per Australian over the decade

He asks whether the Coalition's taxes would result in about $10,000 worth of additional tax per person over the decade, hitting a tax to GDP ratio of around 25%.

He then argues that only the Liberal Democrats' fully costed policies would result in a halving of income tax, an abolishing of fuel, alcohol, import and tobacco taxes and other spending cuts - resulting in a tax to GDP ratio of 13%.
