Treasurer Slashes Taxes To Streamline Revenue For Non-essential Schools, Hospitals, Disability Services, Women’s Safety, Aboriginal Health, Water Security, And Climate Action.

By Situation Theatre 3/4/2019

Essential spending on coal subsidies, private schools, Captain Cook statues, Paladin contracts, and ministerial holidays remains intact.

Thank heavens the government has a policy of NO NEW TAXES and lowering existing taxes because since when have taxes given us anything good?

Treasurer Josh Frydneberg has reassured voters concerned about what this tax policy means for Geelong Grammar’s capacity to give every student a brand new horse that there’ll still be plenty of money for that.

Private schools will get $18 billion more than public schools over the next four years.

That tells you all you need to know about the Liberals' education priorities #Budget19 #auspol #FairFundingNow

So long as private school students have their horses, coal barons have their bonuses, Captain Cook has his statues, the war memorial has its own shopping centre, Paladin has its free millions, and ministers can commute to work via helicopter, then the multiple crises of climate, river systems, species extinction, mental health, domestic violence, Indigenous mortality, and disability care can wait.
