We read today that Josh Frydenberg has spent his summer making up another desperate scare campaign, this time on tax. No wonder his credibility is becoming scarcer than a rapid antigen test. Here’s why 👇 #auspol
Frydenberg’s own Government has taxed Australians at a much higher rate than Labor did, yet he still multiplied the debt he inherited even before COVID hit. This is yet another reason you can’t believe a word that he says about tax and the economy.
The facts in Table E.3 on pages 334-335 of Josh Frydenberg’s own Budget update speak for themselves:

Taxes have been higher every year under this Coalition Government than what it inherited from Labor in 2013.

This Budget is yet another marketing exercise that can’t re-brand the mismanagement and missed opportunities that define eight long years of this Liberal-National Government. #Budget2021 #auspol
It is a shameless political fix, rather than the genuine reform needed to make Australia’s economy stronger, broader and more sustainable. #Budget2021 #auspol
Despite spending almost $100 billion and racking up a record $1 trillion in debt, the Morrison Government’s Budget reveals real wages will go backwards. #Budget2021 #auspol

119 days ago the Morrison Government received a report without any recommendations, which concluded the retirement incomes system is in good shape.

Why did they sit on this for almost four months before tipping it out on a Friday without a response?

#auspol
The Prime Minister must rule out cuts to the pension and cuts to the legislated increases in the super guarantee.

This report justifies Australian workers’ fears that it’s a stalking horse for more cuts to their superannuation.

#auspol
It’s conclusions about the wages-super trade-off does not stand up to scrutiny given wages were historically stagnant after the last time this Government froze the super guarantee.

The Budget will rack up a trillion dollars of debt but still doesn’t do enough to create jobs, fails to build for the future and leaves too many Australians behind. #auspol
Despite producing a grab-bag of headline-seeking announcements, the Government expects another 160,000 Australians to be added to the jobless queues by Christmas. #auspol
Scott Morrison is leaving Australia with one trillion dollars of debt but unemployment is too high for too long, with the jobless rate not expected to get back to pre-crisis levels even after four years. #auspol
