Media Release - MYEFO: Turnbull and Morrison Worse than Abbott and Hockey

15/12/2015 

15 December 2015 When Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison overthrew Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey three months ago, they promised new economic leadership. We now know what that new leadership looks like a new GST on everything, more cuts, the deficit widening, debt getting worse and slower economic growth. The Abbott-Turnbull Government promised tofix the Budgetbut MYEFO confirmed today that the deficit has blown out yet again, this time by 650 million in cuts to Medicare by slashing bulk-billing for diagnostic imaging and pathology services, more than 441 million in child care cuts. And there are the mystery cuts - with 70 billion over the decade and would welcome the governments support of these measures. Despite the sham protests against increasing tax, the priority for Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison clearly remains working on their plan for a 15 per cent GST on everything.
