NSW Premier Chris Minns appeared to criticise the federal government over a lack of action on bracket creep, saying the current top marginal tax rate of 47 per cent results in workers spending half the week working for the government.

Just days after Angus Taylor’s pledge to fix tax brackets, Mr Minns said families in his state were being “stung” as pay rises pushed workers into higher tax brackets.

At a pres conference today, he was asked if he would have preferred personal income tax cuts to have been contained in the federal budget.

“Whether it’s in this budget or it’s in the future, we do need to make sure that we’re doing everything we can to hand more money back to working Australians,” he said.

“The top marginal rate of 47 per cent, as I said in parliament last week, you’re working Monday, Tuesday, and half of Wednesday for yourself, and then Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for the government.

“In a general sense, whether it’s now or in the future, we do need to make sure we’re taking urgent action when it comes to personal income taxes because at the moment, a lot of working families are getting stung.”

I respect Chris Minns and that's a first for me with someone on the left. I'm not sure why he's a member of the ALP but I'm glad he's there to tell them how it is. He, more often than not, seems more conservative than left.

He was also against the "pro-Palestinians" and their marches. The idiot court kept ovderruling him.
