I’m proud to introduce the Treasury Laws Amendment (Cost of Living Tax Cuts) Bill 2024.

It means every Australian taxpayer will now get a tax cut, right up and down the income scale.

And 84 percent of taxpayers will get a bigger tax cut and more support. #auspol #ausecon 🧵 This means the steel workers I met with in Launceston, the early educators in Carrum Downs, the health care workers in Meadowbrook, the plumbers and sprinkler fitters in Beenleigh –

The truckies, the nurses, the police officers –

Will get a bigger tax cut.

The @AlboMP @AustralianLabor Government is delivering a tax cut for every Australian taxpayer in 2024. #auspol #ausecon 1/6 These new tax cuts are designed to provide bigger tax cuts for middle Australia to help with cost-of-living relief, while making our tax system fairer. 2/6

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.

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

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.

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
