\u201cToday the Albanese government voted to keep the widow\u2019s tax breaking yet another promise to the Australian people\u201d, Shadow Treasurer Tim Wilson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Wilson\u2019s comments come in the wake of Labor and the Greens voting against Coalition amendments in the Senate to repeal the widow\u2019s tax that the Government legislated last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Treasurer claimed on Insiders<\/em> on Sunday that the government would \u201cfix\u201d their flaw in the tax legislation, but couldn\u2019t say how, or when, and now they\u2019ve voted in the opposite direction\u201d, Mr Wilson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Treasurer was deliberately evasive because he never intended to fix his tax hit on grieving Australians\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTo pass their Budget the Albanese government promised the Parliament and the Australian people they\u2019d fix the widow tax, and today they voted against fixing a problem they caused\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cJim Chalmers\u2019 budget has changed so many times, he\u2019s lost track of what he supports and what he doesn\u2019t\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLabor and the Greens hatched a dirty deal to push their Budget through and haven\u2019t revealed the details, which raises the question: who is on their tax hit list after widows\u201d?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cToday the Albanese government voted to keep the widow\u2019s tax breaking yet another promise to the Australian people\u201d, Shadow Treasurer Tim Wilson said.
