Sussan Ley turns focus back to tax, industrial relations amid Coalition ructions

In a major economic speech in Sydney on Monday, Sussan Ley, Opposition Leader, promised income tax cuts as a centrepiece of the Coalition's platform but said details will come closer to the election.
The Coalition is developing a tax-cut plan aimed at low and middle-income Australians, with Sussan Ley framing it as restoring fiscal discipline and addressing generational unfairness.
Ley will propose raising the super tax offset from $500 to $810 as eligibility expands from $37,000 to $45,000, and she plans to drop EV tax breaks under a 'do fewer things and do them better' approach.
Internal party tensions persist, with the Coalition's policies under review after election defeat, while Labor and Jim Chalmers criticised Ley's plan for having no costings, no details and no idea.
Her broader plan links tax cuts to budget repair with the shadow ministry focusing on lower personal income taxes and streamlining approvals using Graeme Samuel's review, Murray Watt's blueprint.
