Opposition Leader Bill Shorten is set to release his highly anticipated policy costings on Friday.
Economist Dr Brian Fisher, who released an economic modelling report, concludes Labor’s targets could slash $264 billion from the economy by 2030 but could burn a hole as great as $542 billion, depending on rules that would allow companies to buy international carbon credits to offset their obligations. In the lead up to the announcement, Shadow Treasurer Chris Bowen is expected to announce about $7 billion over four years in extra taxes on the distributions from family trusts.

Just be a beer coaster with a few red wine stains.
Soon? “Of course all of our policies are fully costed and will be released AFTER the election.”
What will Shorten tell us ? That he will rip off pensioners, self-employed, workers, welfare beneficiaries, investors, families and anyone else wanting to be able to get ahead? auspol ausvotes skynews
Yet Morrison still won’t tell us the cost of his tax cuts for millionaires! Why won’t he tell us what he is cutting to pay for his tax cuts for the top end of town?!
Give me a break. You all know these costings will be so far into the future and dependant on this factor and that factor. It will be all smoke and mirrors.
Bring back Rubbery Figures.
Ha ha this will be interesting.
