Every time politicians and media commentators start talking about “serious economic reform”, ordinary Australians somehow end up paying more, working longer, and getting fewer services, while big corporations and wealthy investors walk away with another tax break. Hmmm it’s unusual that “shared sacrifice” nearly always flows in one direction. Australians are told to tighten belts while corporate profits and executive bonuses keep soaring.

I don’t think I will ever be able to trust Peter Dutton or the Liberal party after their astonishing, disingenuous announcement that they are not going to pursue their promised Stage 3 tax cuts.

So Potato has miss fired on his broken promise attack - seems Labor’s changes have got traction in coalition seats - damn it !
Even Newscorp can’t help him…so, they have instructed him to get off his arse and write some policies of his own 😐
The bloke is an unbelievable dud

#Nationals Party, which as the junior partner in the #Coalition, opposes the #Stage3taxcuts revisions. But, every Nationals electorate will be better off … because they benefit more low- and middle-income earners, and rural electorates have more [of these] earners. #auspol
(Why do rural voters support a party that obviously does NOT have the best interests for their constuents ?)

How the revised tax cuts affect people like you

I don't think the Greens are even asking to negotiate, I could be wrong.

But this just feels like the media trying to sow division where there is none.

What so amuses me is that Dutton actually thinks he’s a chance at winning govt. Talking about repealing this legislation and that legislation and what they will do.
I mean who would vote them back after the disastrous 10 years they had up to 2022.
They thrive on hate, lies and division - have no policies or vision for a better more equitable Australia. One that has some hope of surviving the 21st century.
Who would want that prick as PM !
