Abbott promises to hurt low income families

[mantra]

Not only has Abbott ensured that he won't get the indigenous vote because of threatened funding cuts, he will ensure that low income families will make sacrifices that those on high incomes won't. That's the way with a Coalition government and always has been. Take from the poor to give to the rich.

Those who are screaming for an Abbott government are some of the most marginalised in the country. It shows their total lack of understanding of a Coalition government. Public education and health will take the biggest hit of course in order for private education and health funding to increase to a generous level.

FAMILIES in the nation's most marginal seats will be $2200 a year worse off under a Coalition government, figures reveal.

Labor is ramping up its attack on Opposition policies as Prime Minister Julia Gillard tonight faces unscripted questions from undecided voters in Deakin as part of the Herald Sun/Sky News People's Forum.

Ms Gillard will step up the fight for support for her $14.5 billion school funding plan at the forum at Nunawading's Burvale Hotel.

"I think people will want to discuss how our plan for schools is also a plan for jobs, for a stronger, smarter future," Ms Gillard said.

At last Thursday's People's Forum in Corangamite, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said a Coalition government would "do some things that will hurt" to repair the Budget, such as scrapping the SchoolKids Bonus and axing spending linked to the carbon and mining taxes.

Treasurer Wayne Swan revealed the Budget had suffered another $7.5 billion "sledgehammer to revenues", but said it would be a tragic mistake to make "savage cuts".

The Government released figures to the Herald Sun showing a typical family in Ringwood, in the heart of Deakin, would lose $2224 a year under Mr Abbott.

A Ringwood family earning $103,000 with an eight-year-old and 14-year-old and both parents working, would lose $1230 from the SchoolKids Bonus, $504 in tax cuts from changes to the tax-free threshold, $73 clean energy payments and $417 from reversing a superannuation tax cut for low-income earners.

The Government said that across Deakin about 6000 families with 10,600 children would lose the SchoolKids Bonus, 8600 families and 21,900 pensioners would have their carbon tax compensation removed and 19,100 low-income workers would lose up to $500 in super tax cuts.

About 47,000 people in the seat would pay more income tax and 18,200 small business owners would lose a $6500 instant asset write-off.

In Corangamite, the typical family, earning about $100,000, would lose $2264, according to the Government.

would lose $1230 from the SchoolKids Bonus

Unsustainable bribe

$504 in tax cuts from changes to the tax-free threshold

The coalition hasn't said this will be changed

$73 clean energy payments

Not required under coalition policy

and $417 from reversing a superannuation tax cut for low-income earners

Requires low income earners to stump up $500 so they are actually $500 better off.

Fail again Moantra

Pensioners will also be worse off. The conga line over at OZ pol are not even trying to deny this with happen. They claim pensioners that will miss the money are stuffed anyway.

THE Coalition would "claw back" $1 billion of a Labor pension rise if it wins government, Families Minister Jenny Macklin says.
Single pensioners on the maximum rate will receive an extra $35.80 per fortnight with couples getting an increase of $54 per fortnight.

The rise, starting on March 20, covers those receiving the Age Pension, Disability Pension, Carer Payment and veteran income support.

Ms Macklin had previously downplayed a link between the pension rise and the September election.

But on Wednesday she said the Coalition would "claw back" $1 billion a year that the government is currently delivering to pensioners.

"Some of this pension rise would be taken away by Mr Abbott, and people need to know that because they would be worse off," Ms Macklin said in western Sydney on Wednesday.

It won't happen that's why they "aren't trying to deny it". It is another GALP beat up.

I'm sure skip will provide the link to where this is coalition policy and not just more lies and spin from the ALP

Face it skip, the population has woken up to ALP telling lies.

[skippy]

So if it is policy you will condemn it? Yes or no will do, we don't need a sermon.

Not only has Abbott ensured that he won't get the indigenous vote because of threatened funding cuts, What a load of bullshit he will ensure that low income families will make sacrifices that those on high incomes won't. That's the way with a Coalition government and always has been. Take from the poor to give to the rich. More bullshit. How's your utility charges greenie?

Those who are screaming for an Abbott government are some of the most marginalised in the country. Shows how bad the Labor Green Government is doesn't it. It shows their total lack of understanding of a Coalition government. So far all we've see is yours... Public education and health will take the biggest hit of course in order for private education and health funding to increase to a generous level. Both of which are primarily State responsibilities BTW

FAMILIES in the nation's most marginal seats will be $2200 a year worse off under a Coalition government, figures reveal. Got any details?

Labor is ramping up its attack on Opposition policies as Prime Minister Julia Gillard tonight faces unscripted questions from undecided voters in Deakin as part of the Herald Sun/Sky News People's Forum.

Ms Gillard will step up the fight for support for her $14.5 billion school funding plan at the forum at Nunawading's Burvale Hotel. The plan she has no funding for? The plan dumped on by Gonski? that plan.

"I think people will want to discuss how our plan for schools is also a plan for jobs, for a stronger, smarter future," Ms Gillard said.

At last Thursday's People's Forum in Corangamite, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said a Coalition government would "do some things that will hurt" to repair the Budget, such as scrapping the SchoolKids Bonus and axing spending linked to the carbon and mining taxes. better an honest Tony than a dishonest Julia.

Treasurer Wayne Swan revealed the Budget had suffered another $7.5 billion "sledgehammer to revenues", but said it would be a tragic mistake to make "savage cuts". better to live within your budget than sell our future off

The Government released figures really the Government says this eh... well we all know how reliable they are don't we... to the Herald Sun showing a typical family in Ringwood, in the heart of Deakin, would lose $2224 a year under Mr Abbott.

A Ringwood family earning $103,000 with an eight-year-old and 14-year-old and both parents working, would lose $1230 from the SchoolKids Bonus, $504 in tax cuts from changes to the tax-free threshold, $73 clean energy payments and $417 from reversing a superannuation tax cut for low-income earners. I'd like to be on $103,000 dollars wouldn't you mantra?

The Government said that across Deakin about 6000 families with 10,600 children would lose the SchoolKids Bonus, 8600 families and 21,900 pensioners would have their carbon tax compensation removed and 19,100 low-income workers would lose up to $500 in super tax cuts.

Provide a link to the policy you are talking about and I will let you know if I condemn it or not.

You'll forgive me if I don't trust what the ALP or a leftard stooge says it is. They both have a history of lying and twisting.

[Rorschach]

here come the scare campaigns...

[skippy]

So you both deny this will happen? At least IQ demands proof from the coalition, the other retarded mouth breather just says scare campaign.
