Coalition to fund income tax relief with ‘climate bureaucracy’ cuts

The Coalition says it would pay for its proposed income tax cuts by scrapping $31bn worth of Labor policies. Opposition Leader Angus Taylor released costings for the Tax Back Guarantee, which ties income tax brackets to inflation. Typical workers would receive $250 in the first year, rising to $1,000 in the fourth year. The plan targets climate programs, including the Net Zero Economy Agency and electric vehicle concessions, and Build to Rent tax breaks.

Second death increases call for action on health system in 'crisis'

Labor and the Greens say Tasmania's health system is in crisis after a second death linked to a delayed ambulance this month. A man in Zeehan who reported chest pain and breathing difficulties died after a crew from Burnie arrived 78 minutes after he called Triple Zero. The local station was unstaffed due to unfilled leave, and nearby paramedics were busy with other cases. Health Department figures show about 11 per cent of paramedic shifts have been unfilled since July last year.
