Shadow treasurer says Australians should keep ‘reward of their work’ in calls to slash top tax rate
Tim Wilson, the shadow treasurer, said he agrees with NSW premier Chris Minns that the top marginal tax rate of 47% should be slashed to ensure Australians can “keep the reward of their work”.
I will absolutely always focus on how we get not just the top marginal tax rate down, but every tax rate down, because there are so many Australians right now who are working harder than ever, and they don’t feel like their hard work is paying off.
The government has basically gone after a complete assault on the self-starters and small business of this country … and we are going to stand up and we are going to fight for them.
We cannot go backwards. Educators fought hard for this and the government had every opportunity in the budget to finish the job. The 15% pay rise recognised that early childhood educators had been undervalued for too long.
