Labor Costings

Post by Black Orchid » Fri May 10, 2019 3:31 pm

Labor’s policy revolution finally detailed, but will voters buy it?

The full details of Labor’s radical policy platform have been revealed.

Costings prepared by the independent Parliamentary Budget Office were released on Friday, eight days from the election.

Over the next four years, measures that raise revenue or reduce spending (‘savings’) by Labor are set to exceed new expenditure (‘spending’) by $17 billion more than the Coalition — which means a larger surplus.

It’s largely due to a decision to reverse personal tax cuts and reform the system of franking credits.


Shadow Treasurer Chris Bowen said he accepted that it was “unusual” for Labor to pledge bigger budget surpluses than the Coalition.

“But it’s right for the times,” he said.

“We believe we do need a bigger economic buffer, we need a fighting fund for the economy.”

Prime Minister Scott Morrison argued the plan to raise money through changes to the tax system would put the economy at risk.

“The reason they’re going to say what they’re doing today is that they’re taxing Australians more,” he said.

“Our economy is going through a very challenging period, and now’s not the time to engage in high taxing [and] high spending agendas.”

Senate crossbenchers have already indicated that Labor may struggle to pass its revenue-raising measures.

Even the left's beloved ABC wonders if people will buy the Labor costings Red. We are due for a change but I just cannot fathom how you and LW keep getting so hysterically excited about Shorten. There is nothing exciting about him.

I think Labor will win but I think it will be closer than you think.
