If you’re struggling on that range of income you need to check your spending habits.

I could always sell my house and foster out my kids? Or the govt could just stop bleeding us dry quite so much. That's what people like us voted for after all.

Also lmao at a Liberal voter with a mortgage in Perth whinging about doing it tough. You’ve had a Liberal government the past 6 years (and state level 2008-2017) and that whole time your personal wealth has collapsed. Perth property prices are now back to 2005 levels. Sucked in.

ScoMo must be giggling hysterically to himself. I bet he thought he wouldn't have it this easy.
Hardly just part of the Alps plan to say it will work with the govt then not change its position in anyway and claim the govt is being difficult.

lol this is weird. What are you saying? That because we had a Liberal government from 2008 to 2017 in WA that that is why house prices didn't go up further? House prices are steadily falling because we no longer have the massive interstate and international migration to prop them up. Nothing to do with which party is in government. lol.
Hilarious that they've postured about opposing it, worn the negative headlines, and then meekly folded and waved it through.
Super fail.

The entire WA economy is in the toilet and has been for years.
Just as it was the opposite for many years. You wear the good with the bad in a boom state. Make your money during the good times and then easily ride out the bad times and you're way ahead at the end.

in the end you're in the ground so however far ahead you think you are is worthless.
There are two perspectives on the ALP's capitulation:
1) Scott Morrison didn't actually want to pass the tax cuts and instead wanted to use their non-passing against the ALP. Hence, Albanese in fact threw Morrison by approving them.
2) Albanese should have been intransigent, Abbott-style, and opposed them heavily at every stage. He's therefore weak as piss for not doing so.
Shorten would have approved of the first perspective, but I'm not a fan of flattening the personal tax rate in general, never mind when the government has growing budgetary/revenue issues.

Martin Ferguson is one of those ALP idiots who were only interested in their own fiefdoms to care about the Party and allowed the **** Rudd to destroy the ALP's electoral standing in order for his megalomaniacal pursuit of becoming GOD. Martin Ferguson is Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association in his continuation of personal advancement and he does not represent Labour and his opinions are about as important as dog s**t to the ALP.
Maybe.
Either way, blocking tax cuts to individuals is bad policy and even worse for public perception.
Labor seem to misunderstand inflation and rising cost of living:- anyone on $65,000-85,000 will want to earn $100,000 - $150,000 one day.

Cant see Albo taking John Setka on anyones honeymoon:
'I have dedicated my life to the union movement': Setka launches legal action against expulsion
Controversial construction union secretary John Setka's dispute with the ALP has escalated, with the outspoken figure filing an injunction against Labor leader Anthony Albanese's move to expel him.
Mrs Setka might have regretted taking John along.

Walled slams Labor on passing all three stages.

Why was Labor even thinking about 'stage three' tax cuts?
Stage-three tax cuts will leave us with the least progressive income tax system we’ve had at any time since the late 1950s. Precisely what business does Labor have waving something like that through?

Underlines why the ALP decided to vote for all three stages of the tax cuts. The ALP doesn't want ScoMo to wave the ALP opposition to the tax cuts in an election campaign in 2022, and the fact Aly is perceived as a inner city leftie is something the ALP does not want by any stretch of the imagination.
And the ALP just realised that stage 3 of the tax cuts is after the next election, so (assuming that Albo beats ScoMo, which is by no means a sure thing) it gives them an escape route to repealing the legislation on the basis that the budget was rooted by Frydenberg more than he was letting on in public and Australia "can't afford" the stage 3 tax cuts.
