        Taking $11 Billion off the richest 1% sound good to me. 99% of Australians will benefit from closing this loophole that the wealthy use to steal money from ordinary Aussies. Who's side are you on? https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/mar/13/labor-to-axe-cash-refunds-for-wealthy-investors-saving-114bn …pic.twitter.com/Fq5U86uBL2

        Dont sheet all blame home to Shorten....we know what you are doing media. This is LABOR POLICY and every incompetent & proven economic failure in the Party from 07-13 is equally responsible. LABOR as an entity are unfit to govern again #auspol #FrankingCredits

        Bill Shorten is willing to put his job on the line to help the middle to low income workers to get better pay and penalty rates, the get more money into public hospitals & schools so Australians should vote for the ALP

        Only thing which could work to reduce inequality in treatment of super, would be a progressive tax of income derived from super investments at retirement stage, which would be fair enough since if assets produce income then a progressive income tax scale could be applied.

        I’ll use the quote my dad used after @billshortenmp screwed him and verbally abused my mum when Shorten was union rep during the Alcoa coal tar pitch cancer days... “ He’s as useless as tits on a bull “
