        If it doesn't suit you, just make shit up. This isn't journalism. This is just pro LNP propaganda. Here I've found a code of ethics for journalists. Does anyone at the @australian know anything about ethics?pic.twitter.com/vvrlpyQgGR

        Stop the lies. They are getting refunds for tax they never paid. No other country does this.

        $80,000 ATO cheque is an absolute lie. @Bowenchris Please explain how it can happen and close that loophole. Only low income under 30,000 receive imputation cash. The rich still get no limits in imputation tax reduction. #auspol @billshortenmp @ScottMorrisonMP @theage @smh

        High income earners are not affected. They will still get the full benefit of the franking system while their taxable income including dividends and franking credits is above the 30% taxable level, or wherever the company tax rate ends up.

        And they are supposed to be the people's party, well I guess that has gone to the dogs. You're not winning any votes from these people, maybe you are handing the next election victory to Malcolm
