I just have a question about the promise about the basic personal amount that was made in the campaign.

During the campaign, the parliamentary budget office said that in 2023-24 the cost would be roughly $5.6 billion. Its most recent estimate is $6.8 billion in 2024. Your report, “Lower Taxes for the Middle Class and People Working Hard to Join It”, has the number at roughly $6 billion in 2024.

Which number is correct?
