It is reported that the Labor Party officially announced that it will not support the Morrisan government’s entire tax relief plan worth 158 billion yuan. Before the shadow cabinet made this decision, the Labour Party debated the position of the policy for several weeks. The Labor Party has been asking the Federalist government to split the plan and speed up part of the second phase of the plan to provide workers with a tax cut of 1,350 yuan in July.
The Labour Party leader Anthony Albanese said that the adoption of the legislation is currently economically irresponsible and that the legislation will not be introduced until the next election or possibly after the next election. He said: “As an opposition party, the Labor Party is willing to cooperate with the government to achieve constructive results for the national interest.”
However, Morrison said that he would not make concessions to the Labor Party on the issue of tax cuts. The Morrison government will try to get the Senate to vote uninterrupted before the tax cuts are passed. It is reported that the leader of the coalition government, Mathias Cormann, will submit the bill to the Senate on the first day of the resumption of parliament next week and ensure that all stages of the tax cut will be passed. Although the Labour Party confirmed that it only supported the first two parts of the entire tax reduction plan, the coalition government made this decision. Koman said: “The Labor Party’s position shows that it has not learned from the failed elections. We will not separate the plans to reduce the income tax of all Australian wage earners.”
Due to the clear position of the Labor Party, this will make the Morrison government have to rely on the voting support of the independent members of the Senate to make the program pass in Parliament.
