Overview

• Ley will use a Monday address at the Centre for Independent Studies in Sydney to commit to taking a personal income tax plan to voters.
• She says work has begun but the size and design will be decided closer to the vote as the budget picture firms.
• The Coalition frames funding by rejecting what it calls Labor’s waste, with savings earmarked for taxpayers or fiscal repair.
• The stance marks a contrast with the May election, when the Coalition opposed Labor’s tax cuts and offered no dedicated package.
• Ley also targets Labor’s workplace laws, criticising multi-employer bargaining and hinting at changes without detailing policies.
