Mathias Cormann and Jim Chalmers on Budget 2018

With the government’s election focused budget released it’s now a tax showdown between the two sides.

Meanwhile, shadow finance minister Jim Chalmers says Labor is disappointed with the government’s inflexibility on their tax plan. “It’s a real shame that they’re saying that they will hold those lower and middle income earners hostage for the rest of the package.”
