Dutton pressured to reveal Coalition’s stance over changes to stage three tax cuts

Opposition leader Peter Dutton has been heavily pressured to reveal the Coalition’s stance on the Labor government’s changes to the stage three tax cuts. Questions are being raised over whether the Coalition will wind back any tax cuts given to lower and middle income Australians, which would likely be legislated and landing in pay packets by the next election. The Opposition was able to defer their response to the stage three tax cuts changes for several days. The Coalition has a few options on what they can do in response to the changes, such as keeping the changes which means they do not promise a point of difference to Labor. They could also partly reinstate what they originally planned for stage three tax cuts instead, or they can reinstate it in full, which they need big savings for.
