OPPOSITION Leader Mark Latham today stumbled while trying to explain why Labor's plans to extend the superannuation guarantee levy was not a tax.
Mr Latham denied Labor would increase national payroll tax, but said it would extend the superannuation guarantee levy by 0.1 per cent to cover workers' entitlements for companies that went broke.
He said he was not splitting hairs between a tax or a levy, but could not give a definitive answer about the difference.
He's already stumbling.
