UNIONS REJECT OUTRIGHT SA PREMIER'S PLAN TO INCREASE GST TO 15%

26 November 2015
SA Unions.
SA Unions has today absolutely rejected a push by the South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill to increase the rate of the GST to 15%.

State Secretary, Joe Szakacs (pron sock-arch) says the announcement today is a fundamental betrayal of South Australian working people.

"Just eighteen months ago - the day before the last State election - Premier Weatherill promised he would stand up to Canberra and their plan for a GST increase".

"Today, he's failed the people of South Australia.  At the time, he said that any changes to the GST would hit working families the hardest, explaining that a rise in the GST would put a tax on food."

"He warned that if a State Liberal Government were to be elected, it would not stand up to Canberra and fight against a GST, that there would be little or no resistance to a bigger tax."

"His announcement today means he's failed to deliver on that promise."

Mr Szakacs says the Premier has been distracted by trying to be a player on the national political stage and a spruiker of the Abbott Turnbull GST agenda instead of standing up for the best interests of South Australian working people.

"People in the suburbs, in his own electorate, want a State Government that is working to create jobs - not a State Government that thinks it is okay for them to fork out more for life's essentials."

"Eleven million low and middle income workers will face huge hikes in their cost of living if the GST is increased.  This kind of regressive tax hits lower income workers three times harder than people on higher wages."

"We simply don't buy that the increase will help fund health and education - it's more likely to pay for cuts to corporate tax rates and personal income tax rates which only benefit the wealthy."

"Mr Weatherill - stop ignoring workers and be honest about the thousands of extra dollars this will cost families each year.  We need a tax system in which everyone pays their fair share and low and middle income earners aren't expected to do all the heavy lifting."

Typical ain't it, a labor party needs more of other people's money, till it runs out.

Did the world not see, that higher fuel prices made them less profit because people bought less fuel.
I lost 10 kilos in weight, I walked mostly when fuel was up around the 1.40's per litre. My car stayed in the driveway, therefore the servos were not prying my money at 1.40 per litre.

Higher GST rate will cause people to buy less.
Leave it at 10% indefinately and govern within the money available, or create wealth at grass roots level, give the people and business easier ways to create their own business with less red tape and unjustified fees.

Lift GST to cut company tax 


Solid Liberal policy - take from the poor to give to the rich.

This idiot should not be the Labor leader in SA next week.

Very true; a Robyn Hood in reverse.
Weatherill coudn't run a chook raffle properly, being surrounded by incompetent people which stuff up everything, but he thinks he is worth a fortune, no wonder SA is a backward state.
