But the PM has copped shit from members of the crossbench and the opposition for refusing to budge on the tax cuts, which will cost the budget $243 billion over the next decade.
Per , at least nine out of the 18 crossbenchers are against the cuts and want to see them postponed or scrapped.
Senator told the publication the tax cuts were a bad move, which would disproportionately benefit high income earners.
“A lot has changed since they were legislated – bushfires, COVID, fires, floods, no real wage growth, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, sky-high energy prices, housing crisis,” he said.
“It’s clearly skewed towards the wealthy and skewed towards men… it doesn’t seem credible.”
Senator agreed, telling the that Australia’s economy was too borked for the cuts.
“The stage three tax cuts have to go,” she said.
“I voted for them three years ago, but made it clear we would need to have another look at them if things changed. It’s obvious that our economy isn’t in great shape since COVID.”
You know things are truly dire when a member of the Coalition admits he doesn’t need a tax cut. That’s what Liberal MP told the ABC’s on Monday.
“When things change, we should change. The world has turned on its head since the tax cuts were introduced. So people like me don’t need tax cuts,” he said.
“We’re just sending the wrong message to the Australian people at this time that tax cuts for the wealthier cohort of our community are acceptance. I think the government should bite the bullet and drop those tax cuts now and send a real message to the Australian people that we are on about those that are doing it tough.”
My man Broadbent spitting . Unfortunately, it looks like the PM doesn’t give a rat’s ass ‘cos he’s dead set on keeping the tax cuts.
Maybe if a crowd of people at , à la chugging a beer, he’d change his mind. We can dream!
