‘Fighting bushfires with a bucket’: Albanese’s tax changes see public 'turn' against him

Sky News host Paul Murray says people are “turning” on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as the tax returns Australians are likely to see won’t touch the $200 more they are spending due to the cost-of-living crisis. “The tax return that the prime minister wants you to thank him for doesn’t get anywhere near $200 a week,” Mr Murray said. “Working Queenslanders spending $200 more than they earn, well – 15, 22, 32, and 41 dollars is not going to do a damn thing. “Frankly it’s like fighting a bushfire with a bucket. “For the prime minister, he gets to say, we are doing something – if the reality is a family spending $200 more than they are earning, the tax cut doesn’t touch the sides – that’s why people are turning on the prime minister.”
