The Easter break couldn't come at a better time for Bill Shorten who has endured a bruising first week on the campaign trail.
Mr Shorten ruled it out but actually Labor would increase the tax burden on superannuation members by $34 billion - a mistake the Coalition immediately seized on. "They're being dishonest, or sneaky or they're just clueless when it comes to their own policies," Prime Minister Scott Morrison told reporters in Tasmania. "I thought I was being asked about 'have we got any unannounced changes to superannuation?'," Mr Shorten told reporters on Wednesday.
Bill Shorten says the Coalition's $25 billion costing of his policy is a lie, but without providing a figure of his own, the attack has done some political damage.
Nothing compared to The 'LNP' the ' L🤪🤪Ny Party' !!!! PARTY is full of them!!

‘It is a gift’: Bill Shorten hits back on contentious policyIt gives some Australians thousands of dollars every year, but Bill Shorten thinks it is an unnecessary “gift” that needs to be cut back. When you work and invest you should rewarded for this. This is what bill does not understand is you have to govern through incentive. It looked like and sounded like the campaign launch why’s it not the campaign launch? Oh that’s right AustralianLabor would have to pay their travel so let’s have a quasi launch but not call it a launch so we can still bill the tax payer AUSPOL AUSVotes19 Self funded retirees that have worked all their lives to build a nest egg for their retirement shouldn’t have their nest egg taxed.
