Not touching the stage 3 tax cuts is going to win the ALP the electionThe Greens are benefiting from the fact that the ALP is backing in the Stage 3 tax cuts. I mean, if you can't argue against a policy that largely benefits higher income earners, you can't really call yourself a progressive party. At least the Stage 1 & 2 tax cuts benefited low and middle income earners - the Stage 3 cuts, on the other hand, are an assault on the progressive taxation system and the Greens are quite rightly opposing them.
Knowing they have a tax break coming down the line makes a Labor government a lot more palatable to a lot of those higher income earners who know they’re not going to get much out of the government in the next 6 years or so
