'Designed to get attention': Jim Chalmers criticises Greens over proposed corporation tax

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has labelled the Greens’ proposed tax on corporations a “policy designed to get attention”. Mr Chalmers said he would rule out the proposed tax on corporations. “The Greens, their primary task is to make up numbers and put out press releases, we actually have to run the place – run the economy and run the country,” Mr Chalmers said. “That means taking a responsible and methodical approach to policy. “If the Greens really cared about more fairness in the tax system, they’d support unequivocally our efforts to make multinational corporations pay their fair share of tax, our efforts to make the taxes on people with more than $3m in superannuation fairer, to fund paying the superannuation guarantee on paid parental leave, and for other priorities.”
