MEDIA RELEASE: 64,000 Novocastrians Would Get Bigger Tax Cuts Under Labor

28/05/2018 

64,000 Novocastrians will be up to 125,000 a year would get a larger tax cut under a Shorten Labor Government.

"Under Labor's tax relief plan, these Novocastrians will be 80 billion on tax cuts for big business and the banks, Labor has decided to do more to help working Australians," Ms Claydon said.

"Labor has also done the hard work to rein in excessive tax concessions that cost the budget billions and largely benefit wealthy Australians."

Ms Claydon said that in contrast to the Government's plan, fairness was the key principle underpinning Labor's tax decisions.

"Under Mr Turnbull's tax plan, a retail worker earning 200, while a lawyer on 7,225," Ms Claydon said.

"Under a Shorten Labor Government, the majority of Novcastrians will pay less tax. We will fund schools and hospitals properly. We'll do more to pay off debt. And we won't handover $80 billion to big business and the banks."
