Treasurer Josh Frydenberg has criticised Opposition leader Bill Shorten, saying if elected, Shorten will enforce $387 billion of higher taxes in an economic plan to ‘redistribute the pie’, instead of growing it.
Mr Frydenberg says the Labor party should be accountable for what they do, not what they say, as they ‘made a whole mess’ of Australia’s economy when they inherited a ‘pristine’ balance sheet from former Liberal prime minister John Howard. The Liberal MP says Australia is now second to the US in terms of growth among the G7 nations, growing faster than Japan, Europe and Canada.

Frydenberg coy on top-end tax cuts | Sky News AustraliaJosh Frydenberg has repeatedly refused to outline how much a person earning $180,000 will receive in tax cuts if the Coalition is re-elected. \n\nSpeaking with Sky News, the Treasurer insisted the Coalition is not cutting the top rate of marginal tax for Australia’s highest income earners – opting instead to create a big bracket to catch those earning between $45,000 and $200,000 in order to halt bracket creep. \n\nLabor is ramping up the pressure for Mr Frydenberg to put a figure on the tax relief those earning over $180,000, a number they insist is upwards of $77 billion. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n It probably is $77b but who cares. Tell the Australian people like you demand Labor too tell the Australian people. Who cares. Give us the figures on how much they pay.
