Dear Jane...L&Ks Sandy - 

Via the AP emails:

Dear ....,
 
Anthony Albanese has looked Australians in the eye and knowingly and repeatedly lied to them about his commitment to the Stage 3 tax cuts.
 
Labor's changes to the legislated Stage 3 package show that Anthony Albanese and Jim Chalmers can't be trusted with Australia's long term economic prosperity.
 
Through my Cost of Living Committee hearing on Monday, I uncovered that Treasury undertook postcode analysis so the Prime Minister could find out how many people in Dunkley would benefit from this change.
 
Yet, Labor didn't even bother to ask Treasury how many Australians would be paying more tax, and the kicker is - Treasury don't actually know the answer!
 
This has shown that all Labor cares about is politics - not genuine tax reform and long term prosperity.
 
But we know Australians deserve better. They deserve a Government committed to encouraging aspiration and reform of our tax system.
 
The Coalition is committed to lower, simpler and fairer taxes, which is why we will not oppose the reduction in the 19c tax rate to 16c.
 
Sadly, Albanese's lies and broken promises means that delivering the stage 3 tax reforms as they have been legislated (to start on 1 July 2024) is now impossible.
 
However, the Coalition is committed to going to the next election with a tax policy that is in keeping with the principles of the stage 3 tax reforms.
 
We remain committed to fighting bracket creep and enshrining aspiration because strong leaders keep their promises, even when it is hard.
Our package will:

• Deliver lower, simpler, and fairer taxes;
  
• Fight bracket creep and enshrine aspiration in our tax system;
  
• Reward hard work and support a strong economy where every Australian can get ahead;
  
• Unite Australians, rather than pit them against each other.
  

It will be a policy that is fully-costed, that will deliver on Australia's future security, and guarantee the essential services that Australians rely on.
 
Most importantly, it will be ready to implement the moment we are elected back into government, because the Coalition delivers on our promises – unlike the liar in The Lodge. 
 
Sincerely,



P.S. If you want to see more, see our press conference with the Leader of the Opposition and the Shadow Treasurer on Facebook and Instagram.

Sandy in reply...

Jane,

Fine aspirations and I appreciate your continuing advocacy for our Party. 

But now we need actual policies with some detail to persuade people that we are the Party of less tax and more free enterprise which is the only way forward to a stronger more prosperous Australia. 

What we need in General Aviation (GA) is a commitment to put aviation back into a Department with responsible Minister. This is the Westminster system. The present independent corporate model has failed, we’ve lost hundreds of flying schools and charter operators. CASA is incapable of producing a rational and affordable environment for GA. 

We should pitch to the aviation community with a definite policy, we stand to gain a lot of votes from a very disillusioned cohort, the aviators of Australia and their families.  

Labor Minister Gareth Evans kicked aviation out of his Department in 1988, huge damage has ensued. 

Best regards,   Sandy
