Greens Treasury spokesperson, Senator Nick McKim, has responded to the ACTU\u2019s paper to the Government Jobs Summit saying the pressure is growing on Labor to walk away from the Stage 3 tax cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Greens welcome the ACTU\u2019s paper and congratulate them on making the case for serious economic reform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cScott Morrison\u2019s Stage 3 tax cuts will overwhelmingly flow to the wealthiest people in the country, with a $9000 tax break for people earning $200,000 but nothing for those on the minimum wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInstead of giving a tax cut to billionaires and politicians, we should be putting dental and mental health into Medicare and making childcare free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is a cost of living crisis being driven in large part by big corporations and the super wealthy – they need to pay their fair share of tax so everyone in Australia can benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Greens also welcome the ACTU\u2019s call for the introduction of super profits taxes to rein in corporate profiteering and a reform of business tax to encourage productive investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCBA has just reported an obscenely large profit in the face of rising inflation and rising interest rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile the government and the RBA are asking workers to take more pain, big corporations are filling their shareholders’ pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSuper profits taxes are needed to curb corporate profiteering that is exacerbating inflation and to fund cost of living relief for Australians who are struggling to make ends meet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
