Albanese government ‘focused on getting’ tax cuts through parliament

Labor MP Julian Hill says the Albanese government is “focused on” getting Labor’s tax cuts for every Australian taxpayer through the parliament. Mr Hill said the government has a “full tax reform agenda.” The Labor MP’s comments come after former Australian prime minister Paul Keating claimed in an interview with the AFR that anything over the top tax rate of 39 per cent is ‘confiscatory’ and backed indexation of the personal income tax rate. “We’re about improving the productivity and efficiency of the tax system,” Mr Hill told Sky News Australia. “We’re focused on getting the legislation through the parliament to deliver a tax cut to every Australian taxpayer.”
