    Lets see how much courage Dutton has when it comes time to vote it through Parliament shall we? If he's true to his word he will block it. Buit we all know that won't happenas he's nothing but a spineless waffler.

    The Labor government’s replacement of the Stage 3 tax cuts with its own new package has turned the March 2 Dunkley byelection into a referendum on tax.And that could become more difficult for the opposition than for Labor, despite Peter Dutton being handed the ammunition of Anthony Albanese breaking his much-repeated promise to deliver the Morrison government’s (already legislated) version.The vast majority of taxpayers in Dunkley – 87% – will be better off under the government’s tax cuts than they would have been under the Coalition’s Stage 3. This is a strong campaign line for Labor.That’s the first problem for Dutton. But then, there is the question of the opposition’s response.The government will move quickly to legislate its package, which is due to start July 1. Does the Coalition vote against that legislation? It wouldn’t be a good look.And what does it say it would do in the longer term? On Wednesday Deputy Liberal leader Sussan Ley suggested the Coalition would roll back the Labor policy. She later claimed she was verballed – she wasn’t – and retreated from her position. (Ley, who is always anxious to be out in the media, is a loose cannon for the Liberals, often making statements and claims that are counter-productive.)The opposition presumably will have to reassure voters in Dunkley that it would keep the new tax cuts, which will soon be in people’s pockets.
