Albanese Government's Tax Cut Changes Face First Test in Dunkley Byelection

Opposition leader Peter Dutton calls for election over 'significant change', while Greens push for more benefits for low- and middle-income earners.

  • Anthony Albanese's government has proposed changes to stage-three tax cuts, shifting benefits to low- and middle-income earners from those on higher wages.
  • The changes are set to benefit more than 13 million Australians, particularly those earning less than $150,000 annually.
  • The upcoming Dunkley byelection will be the first test of community support for Labor's changes to the Morrison government scheme.
  • Opposition leader, Peter Dutton, has demanded an election over the 'significant change' to the tax cuts, accusing Albanese of breaking an election promise.
  • The Greens, whose votes will be needed to pass the package, are pushing for more benefits for low- and middle-income earners.
