MALCOLM IN A MUDDLE ON INCOME TAX CUTS

24 May 2018

Malcolm Turnbull either misled or experienced amnesia in Parliament today during Question Time, pretending he hadnt voted against Labors Tax Refund for Working Australians that would give bigger, better and fairer income tax cut to 10 million Australians.

CHRIS BOWEN: My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister and his Government claim they support lower taxes so why did the Prime Minister, his Ministers and every member of the backbench vote against Labor's plan for lower personal income taxes for 10 million Australians, a tax cut of up to $928 a year last night? That's what they did. How can the Australian people believe anything this Prime Minister says when last night, he voted against bigger tax cuts?

MALCOLM TURNBULL: Mr Speaker, Mr Speaker, Mr Speaker, the only tax reform that was voted for last night was the government's reform for personal income tax.

WRONG.

The Prime Minister should check Votes and Proceedings from the House of Representatives yesterday where registered a vote against Labors fairer income tax cut amendments.

Theres no doubt the Turnbull Government voted against Labors amendments to the income tax legislation that would have delivered bigger, better and fairer income tax cut to 10 million Australians.

The Liberal Party is all talk when it comes to delivering proper income tax relief for working and middle income Australians.

Under Labors plan, everyone earning less than $125,000 a year will receive a bigger tax cut compared to the Liberals.
