SARAH CUMMING:
Federal Parliament is sitting this week. It may not come as a surprise that the cost of living is high on the agenda, power prices, housing supply and Australia’s supermarket duopoly has dominated the conversations this week.
The price of Australia’s favourite SUVs, utes and 4WDs will be jacked up by thousands of dollars under Labor’s proposed carbon tax on vehicles. Industry analysis of Labor’s family car tax predicts the cost of some popular models such as the Toyota Landcruiser could rise by as much as $25,000. Federal Member for Moncrieff, Angie Bell said Labor’s newest tax will put too many cars out of reach for families and tradies on the Gold Coast.
SARAH CUMMING:
The Federal Government’s overhaul of the stage three tax cuts have passed the Senate. The changes aimed to broaden the benefits of the original tax cuts halving the tax break offered to wealthier Australians but bolstering the benefit for those on lower incomes. Federal Member for Moncrieff, Angie Bell joins you on the phone this morning. Hello, Angie.
GREG JENNETT:
We might get an assessment of what sort of behavioural change that data could generate. We’ll do that with our political panel joining us right here, right now, Labor frontbencher Kristy McBain. Welcome back Kristy. And LNP frontbencher, Angie Bell, same to you Angie.

That is exactly what Anthony Albanese and this Labor government continue to do to Australians. They have built a government based on lies and broken promises, with a weak leadership team at the […]
I really don’t think there has been a government as full of itself as this Albanese Labor government. They love big, sweeping statements. They tell mistruths and they claim credit for simply everything. Like the member for Robertson today, I want to talk about two of these claims. The first is that their government are […]
SARAH CUMMING:
You’re listening to mornings on ABC Gold Coast with Sarah Cumming. It is 10 minutes past nine on your rainy Friday morning. A lot on the table to talk about this week in federal parliament. Changes to industrial relations reform. Have you heard about the right to disconnect? Disallowing your boss to call you when you’re at home.
New data proves that despite promising to skill more Australians than the Coalition, Anthony Albanese’s Labor Government is overseeing a wholesale collapse in the number of apprentices and trainees in every state and in almost every electorate across the nation including in our backyard.
Anthony Albanese has looked Australians in the eye and repeatedly lied in my view. Remember the $275 lower electricity price promise? Cheaper mortgages ring a bell?
I think members opposite conveniently forget that stage 1 and stage 2 tax cuts have already been delivered under the Morrison government, and this is stage 3 of those tax cuts. They forget, conveniently, that the low- and middle-income tax offset for those earning $48,000 to $90,000 a year was $1,500. They spruik about an […]
