Treasurer Josh Frydenberg says his plan to tackle Australia’s worst recession since World War II will likely be based on $158 billion in tax cuts, $10 billion on infrastructure spending, and industrial relations reform. The government also plans to end the Coronavirus Supplement in December and phase out the JobKeeper program over the next six months.
Not only do these plans give to rich men with one hand and take from poor women with the other, they also simply won’t work to repair an economy that still hasn’t felt the full effect of the COVID-19 body blow.
