Labor are 'addicted' to taxes, says Victorian shadow treasurer

Victorian Shadow Treasurer Brad Rowswell has accused the Labor Party of being "addicted" to taxing Australians. "We know that because they haven’t seen something or walked past something that they haven’t wanted to tax previously," Mr Rowswell told Sky News host Steve Price. "I'm fully expecting in this budget that they’ll introduce their Airbnb tax, their holiday and tourism tax," he said. "Now coming out of COVID the tourism industry in this state is still stuffed." Mr Rowswell suggested that the Victorian Airbnb tax will just drive tourism away to other parts of Australia.
