Whenever Labor sees something working, they tax it.

Small business doing well? Tax it.
Families struggling with insurance premiums? Tax it.
Energy costs rising? Add more charges.
Enjoying a night at the pub? Increase the alcohol tax.
Trying to make ends meet while paying rent? Hit petrol with higher taxes and watch the cost of everything else rise with it.

Labor’s instinct is always the same. Tax more. Then tax again.

Your insurance premium already includes state stamp duty, and then the federal government adds a 10 percent GST on top. Housing is unaffordable, yet GST is applied to building materials, driving up construction costs. It is a cycle that pushes prices higher and leaves families worse off.

Instead of cutting waste or controlling spending, Labor reaches for your wallet. They love tax, tax tax.
