The petrol shock in the budget appears to explain an ominous prediction made to Fairfax Media this week by a federal minister, who said the controver
sial deficit levy would be "one of the more popular" aspects of next Tuesday's economic statement.
Treasurer Joe Hockey said this week he believed the government was not breaking promises on tax because it had taken a plan to the election to increase taxes on companies to fund its paid parental leave scheme.
"We went to the last election promising to introduce a levy for PPL, so claims that we said we would never introduce new taxes are just wrong," he said.

October 28, 2010 : “We stand for lower, simpler, fairer taxes, not great big new taxes that damage Australia’s economy, not great big new taxes that are yet another hit on the cost of living of struggling Australian families.”

August 16, 2011: “A very clear message is going out from the Australian people to this government: there can be no tax collection without an election. If this government had any honesty, any decency, that is what we would have: an election now.”
