Shadow Finance Minister Jim Chalmers has sought to clarify Labor's superannuation policy, claiming Bill Shorten misheard or did not understand a question about the issue yesterday.
When pressed by reporters yesterday, Mr Shorten said Labor had no plan to increase taxation on superannuation contributions. "I have no idea what Bill Shorten was talking about today when he says he won't be putting increased taxes on superannuation," Mr Morrison said.ABC News examines the main superannuation changes that the major political parties are proposing."When Bill Shorten said we don't have any plans, he was talking about we don't have any additional things to announce during the election campaign," Mr Chalmers said.
Labor policy is synomous with higher tax burden. Yet low to middle income earners should get tax relief given no wage growth and cost of living pressures exacerbated by 3 levels of government ever increasing their taxes and charges.
Oh yes and according to Jim Chalmers, pigs can fly
He misheard nothing. billshortenmp is a goose an the only weakness in the AustralianLabor platform😐 He will be PM but an embarrassment and gone after the first term...🤔
