Today’s calls for an increase in the GST say it all about the Liberal Party.

When wages are stagnant, and super and pensions are at risk, the Liberal Party now wants to jack up the GST as well.

When many multinational corporations are paying very little tax under this Morrison Government, Liberals want pensioners and families to pay more.

Josh Frydenberg is notorious for caving in to backbench pressure which makes this latest idea from the Liberal fringe a serious threat to the household budgets of every Australian.

Labor does not support an increase in the GST because it would hit those Australians who can least afford it the hardest.
