Tax cuts in store for low, middle-income Australians

In Australia, the Budget has unveiled a plan for significant tax cuts - if voters decide to stick with the Liberal-led government. Treasurer Scott Morrison is promising to cut taxes by $140 billion over seven years, but the biggest cuts don't come until 2024. Low- to middle-income Australians appear to be the 2018 budget's biggest winners, at least, in the short-term. Short-term, Australian families with both parents on an average income will pocket more than $1000 a year from July 1. The tax-cut plan may be the major policy the Turnbull government campaigns on at an election due within the next year. Michelle Grattan is the chief politica correspondent for The Conversation.
