TREASURY CONFIRMS TAXPAYERS TO FORK OUT $23 MILLION FOR DODGY TAX AD CAMPAIGN

15 February 2019

There is nothing the Liberals will stop at to tell lies on tax with Treasury confirming overnight the taxpayers will fork out $23 million for a tax integrity campaign.

The Liberal taxpayer funded TV and online campaign matches up with Tim Wilsons scandal plagued taxpayer funded committee inquiry into Labors reforms to dividend imputation as well as the continued politicisation of the Treasury to cost Labor policies.

The $23 million pre-election ads binge is a blatant waste of taxpayers money spent on Government propaganda and the latest case of the Liberals never let the truth get in the way of a good story moniker.

What the ads conveniently leave out, is that most of the $140 billion cost of the income tax package and benefits dont flow until 2022 and 2024.

Labor has bigger, better and fairer income tax cuts for 10 million Australians where the benefits will flow to workers from 1 July this year.

And the billions of dollars raked in from tackling tax avoidance are from Labor laws which the Government opposed at the time.

Everywhere you look, the tax payer is picking up the cost of Liberal Party lies and collusion with vested interests to undermine sensible tax reform
