Opposition leader Bill Shorten has delivered Labor's response to Treasurer Scott Morrison's 2018-19 federal Budget. In his official Budget reply speech on Thursday ((10 may)), Mr Shorten said the Budget's priorities are misplaced. Mr Shorten also took the opportunity to outline a number of policies Labor would implement if elected.
Treasurer Scott Morrison’s third federal Budget looked to position the Turnbull government as the stable option for voters ahead of the next federal election.
But opposition leader Bill Shorten feels many of the Budget's priorities are misplaced, slamming it in his official reply speech on Thursday ((10 may)).
Mr Shorten says if elected, a Labor government would give Australians what he calls a "fair go" when it comes to tax cuts.
Scott Morrison's Budget will give lower and middle-income workers income tax cuts -- some up to $530 a year.
But while Mr Shorten says the opposition supports the Coalitions's cuts -- which start on July 1st this year -- Labor would do better.
