against the introduction of separate tax- ation for married couples and the very idea of a general sales tax. This year Sir, forgive me for not elaborating on these three themes except to say that my views have not changed. The actual surplus for 1986/87 turned out to be $3.9 billion for the General Revenue account, and $5.9 billion for the Consolidated account, instead of revised
estimates of $3.1 billion and $4.9 billion respectively. For 1987/88, it looks likely

I welcome the introduction
of a Working Wives allowance, but regret that apparently the Financial Secretary has already conceded defeat when he said that he was prepared to consider further how sep- arate taxation for working wives might best be introduced'. I submit that, and I suggest that a working spouse allowance is simpler and more equitable scheme, as I insist on not only the sanctity of the family, but also the socially more equitable arrangement reg- arding the household, not, the individual, as the tax unit. After all, married life is a life of sharing, with love shared, joys and sorrows shared, expenses shared, why should income not be regarded as shared?
