Sussan Ley backflips on pledge to roll back tax package

Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has backflipped on her comments yesterday pledging to roll back the Labor government’s new tax package if the Coalition won the next election.

Ley was asked on Sky News yesterday whether the Coalition would “roll back whatever changes are made” and she replied, “Well, this is our position. This is absolutely our position.”
