But someone who's income is above $200,000 a year will receive a tax cut of $4.55 an hour.

'Dismal outlook' for young househunters as Coalition puts forward new first home buying planScott Morrison has promised first home buyers they can tap into their superannuation savings to enter the property market. But not everyone is convinced the scheme will be helpful. Pretty bad when even your own party says this s a bad idea which will only push house prices up. Pretty much sums up the policy. If there was a pension at 65 then this is an option but we don't unless your a politician so all this would do is damage your retirement.
