‘Took us for mugs’: PM’s broken promise on tax cuts ‘destroyed’ his credibility

The Prime Minister has “destroyed” his credibility after making changes to the former Coalition government’s stage three tax cuts, according to Sky News host Chris Kenny. Anthony Albanese was booed by fans at the Australian Open men’s final at Rod Laver Arena on Sunday night as MC Todd Woodbridge welcomed him during the trophy ceremony. It marks a very different reaction to what the Prime Minister experienced at last year's Australian Open, where the crowd erupted into cheers. Speaking to Melbourne's Fox FM radio on Monday morning, Mr Albanese dismissed the boos as a “tradition” in Australian sport. “Sure there's all these other reasons that people might not like Albo – there’s the cost of living issues, there's weakness on Israel, some will be angry he butchered the Voice, others angry he tried it on, but in the end, we all know why he's suddenly worthy of a humiliating, public booing,” Mr Kenny said. “Because he took us for mugs. Because he said one thing and is doing another. Because he broke a promise. Because he lied. “Albanese's broken promise on tax cuts has destroyed his credibility, it has broken that bond of trust with the electorate.”
