At last Thursday's People's Forum in Corangamite, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said a Coalition government would "do some things that will hurt" to repair the Budget, such as scrapping the SchoolKids Bonus and axing spending linked to the carbon and mining taxes.


The Government released figures to the Herald Sun showing a typical family in Ringwood, in the heart of Deakin, would lose $2224 a year under Mr Abbott.

A Ringwood family earning $103,000 with an eight-year-old and 14-year-old and both parents working, would lose $1230 from the SchoolKids Bonus, $504 in tax cuts from changes to the tax-free threshold, $73 clean energy payments and $417 from reversing a superannuation tax cut for low-income earners.

The Government said that across Deakin about 6000 families with 10,600 children would lose the SchoolKids Bonus, 8600 families and 21,900 pensioners would have their carbon tax compensation removed and 19,100 low-income workers would lose up to $500 in super tax cuts.

About 47,000 people in the seat would pay more income tax and 18,200 small business owners would lose a $6500 instant asset write-off.

In Corangamite, the typical family, earning about $100,000, would lose $2264, according to the Government.


You just cant trust Tony Abbott.
