Greens: Put a fair go ahead of election tax cuts
On the eve of Poverty Week the Australian Greens have called on the ALP to avoid the tendency to match the Coalition's blatant vote-buying tax cuts and to commit to give a fair go to Australian families living in poverty instead.
"The tax cuts announced by the Prime Minister today bring the total cost of tax cuts announced in the last three years to $100 billion but a pay rise for pensioners is still seen as unaffordable," said Senator Rachel Siewert today.
