Swan has the form to increase GST

11/08/10

In making false accusations regarding GST increases today, Wayne Swan is again trying to muddy the waters to deflect attention away from his own appalling track record on increasing taxes.

The Coalition absolutely and categorically rules out any increase whatsoever in the GST

By suggesting otherwise, Wayne Swan has again demonstrated his increasing desperation.

Labor is truly the party of increased taxes as confirmed by its great big mining tax, plans to introduce a carbon tax and tax slugs on cigarettes, alcohol, tobacco, passports and the list goes on.

Wayne Swan is always on the lookout for new ways of taxing Australians in order to help fund Labor’s out-of-control spending, which has produced a $57 billion deficit and a $90 billion debt.

These are numbers that Wayne Swan refuses to discuss because they represent his appalling track record.

If anyone is likely to increase the GST it is the Gillard government.
