21st Jun 2018, 10:45 AM – Representatives Motions - Taxation - Let a vote happen
Summary
EditThe majority voted against a motion to suspend the usual rules (known as standing orders) to let a vote happen, which means the vote will not take place.
Motion text
That so much of the standing and sessional orders be suspended as would prevent the Manager of Opposition Business from moving the following motion immediately:
That the House
(1) notes that
(a) gross debt has grown to a record half a trillion dollars under this government;
(b) last night, in an act of gross incompetence, this government teamed up with Senator Pauline Hanson's One Nation to vote to support a bill which abolished all income tax rates from 2024. This is the latest act from a government consumed by chaos and incompetence which has outsourced all economic policy to Pauline Hanson's One Nation;
(c) for years One Nation has advocated flat tax. Last night the government adopted this policy and set the rate at zero;
(d) the government has also dealt with bracket creep by abolishing every single tax bracket; and
(e) the bill which was supported last night at the third reading stage by the government and One Nation will open up a budget black hole of $240 billion every single year once implemented; and
(2) condemns this government for its gross economic incompetence.
