What a convoluted and outlandish manoeuvre Peter Dutton is employing in attempting to convince voters that Anthony Albanese’s reform of the tax legislation is a betrayal.
How can the Coalition present itself as the newly minted champion of the working battler while opposing changes which would put more in the pockets of struggling families?
Surely if the Liberal Party is being fair dinkum about cost-of-living pressures then Dutton and Taylor should be calling for the stage three tax cuts to be dropped. If they remain mute, they bear the responsibility for any cost of living and inflationary pressures that occur.
Democracy and true local government were and still are rejected by the two old parties, Labor and Liberal, because it suits their hold on power. Labor’s refusal to honour 62.5 per cent of the inner west voters will be seen for what it is – a betrayal of democracy.
