TASMANIANS BETTER OFF UNDER LABOR
Tasmanians will be better off under a Labor Shorten Government.
Under Labor the majority of Tasmanians will pay less income tax, because Labor believes that they are more important than multinationals, big banks and big business.
Under Labor Tasmanian workers with incomes of between $48,000 and $90,000 will be $928 better off, which is $398 better than the tax cuts offered by the Turnbull Government.
Under the Liberals high income earners will be the biggest winners of the Turnbull tax cuts.
Labor doesn’t believe that a cleaner on $40,000 a year should pay the same tax rate as a CEO on $200,000. It’s just not fair.
Economic modelling has found that Tasmania will miss out. Tasmanian taxpayers benefit the least from the government’s tax cuts due to our lower average incomes.
As Labor is not giving big business an $80 billion tax cut, Labor can afford to reverse the Turnbull Government’s cuts to hospitals, and create a $2.8 billion Better Hospital Fund.
Labor has already committed to a $30 million investment to slash Tasmania’s elective surgery backlog.
Labor will always invest in your education; in schools, TAFE and university – because we know when people get the opportunities, Australia gets the benefit.
Labor will invest an additional $17 billion over the next ten years into our public education system.
Labor will also invest $470 million to boost TAFE, apprenticeships and skills, scrapping upfront fees for 100,000 TAFE students who choose to learn the skills that Australia needs to become a modern advanced manufacturing economy.
Under Labor Tasmanians will be better off.
