Shadow Immigration Minister Dan Tehan fears a discussion with Labor over taxes will just “lead to more taxes”, instead of a proper debate around what Australia’s tax mix should be. “We need Labor to put that tax cap back in place and then we should have a discussion about what is the best method going forward for us to be able to officially collect tax in this country,” Mr Tehan told Sky News Australia. “If they want to have a discussion about taxes which is all about lifting taxes, we won’t be a party to that. “Let’s have a discussion about what is the most efficient and effective way to have our tax mix but it has to be with a tax cap in place.”

Voice supported by ‘majority’ of Indigenous Australians, says Labor ministerEnvironment Minister Tanya Plibersek says the Voice referendum has the “support of the majority” of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and believes the Yes campaign will be successful despite polls showing a decline in support. “It’s never easy winning referendums, especially if you don’t have bipartisan support,” Ms Plibersek told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. “We know that what we’ve been doing no hasn’t worked, we’ve got big gaps in life expectancy, in employment, in education outcomes and in health outcomes. “Listening to the people who are most affected by government policies, listening to what will make a difference in their lives just makes sense – it’s a way of making sure we get value for money for government spending.”
