The federal Government has labelled the Opposition's Budget reply speech a job-killer, and Labor guilty of waging class warfare.
Labor's Budget reply revealed it supports the government's plan to raise the Medicare levy but only for those earning more than $87,000 a year.
Opposition leader Bill Shorten told Parliament during his Budget Reply speech last Thursday night the government's plan to raise the levy by half a per cent would negatively affect too many Australians.
Treasurer Scott Morrison says its proposed Medicare levy increase would help the government fully fund the National Disability Insurance Scheme but Labor is putting that at risk.
The key Budget battlegrounds are now the funding future of the National Disability Insurance Scheme and how much Australians should be taxed.
