IF YOU VOTE INDEPENDENT
7,952 RESIDENTS WILL BE HIT BY LABOR’S RETIREE TAX Who will pay for Labor’s higher taxes? Last time, Labor racked up $240 billion in deficits in six years. Now Labor wants higher taxes on retirees, housing, incomes, investments, family businesses, electricity and cars. This will hurt families and risk our economy. Labor will rip the private health insurance rebate away from Australian families and pensioners
It has taken years to fix Labor’s last Budget mess. Now is not the time to turn back. Authorised by S Frost, Liberal Party of Australia (Victorian Division), 104 Exhibition Street, Melbourne VIC 3000.
WHEN LABOR RUNS OUT OF MONEY THEY COME AFTER YOURS.
