Aussies should reject tax cuts that benefit those who least need them
Mike is joined by Adj Prof Terry Slevin, CEo of Public Health Association of Australia, the peak body for public health urging the Albanese Government to not proceed with the stage three tax cuts in their current form.
The greatest health disparities and the worst health outcomes are experienced by
people with the least resources. Middle- and high-income Australians are among the
healthiest people on earth.
“We must do more for those Australians who are in need of support.” Prof Terry Slevin says.
“Better income support, better housing, and better childcare will ultimately benefit us
all.”
“The government can achieve those outcomes – if it does not diminish its revenue
base by hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade.
“We are urging well paid Australians to petition the Government to reverse the stage
three tax cuts, even though they stand to benefit most. We are urging them to say
‘No thanks’”.
