Scott Morrison ignoring Treasury advice and championing the arguments and modelling of vested interests on Labors tax policies just looks desperate and weak.

Here we are less than a month before the Budget and Scott Morrison cant be found to give comment or outline the Governments plans on tax or the economy.

Scott Morrisons modus operandi on tax is clear, hes got nothing positive to say about the Turnbull Governments tax or economic agenda and so spends all his time to discredit Labors tax policies.

Mr Morrison will selectively brief out discredited taxable income data and back in industry modelling, while seeking to squash positive Treasury analysis of Labors tax policies.

Australians deserve better than Scott Morrison launching opportunistic and ill-informed attacks on Labor policies while sitting on Treasury advice to the contrary.

Its quite the spectacle to see Mr Morrison call modelling commissioned by the Housing Industry Association independent while attempting to hide Treasury advice on Labors housing affordability policies.

The modelling commissioned by the HIA is not independent modelling of Labors policy because it does not model the impacts of grandfathering and it does not model the proposed changes to negative gearing key features of Labors housing policies.

Enough is enough when it comes to the silly game playing by Scott Morrison.

We know that Treasury has consulted stakeholders in past Budget stakeholders sessions over changes to dividend imputation.

And we saw on Labors housing affordability policies, Scott Morrison spent two years attacking them for smashing the economy while sitting on Treasury advice saying exactly the opposite.
