Tensions are rising between Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his Treasurer over the political cost of the government's contentious changes to stage three tax cuts. Albanese's election promise on these tax cuts was described as 'core,' but Treasurer Jim Chalmers has hinted that the 37% tax bracket might not be abolished as planned. Opposition leader Peter Dutton has made a significant statement on the planned tax relief, indicating potential support for the changes but warning of a 'massive black hole' in the government's plan. Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie has slammed the changes for failing to address bracket creep. Sky News host Steve Price and Bondi Partners Senior Advisor Peter McGauran have criticized Albanese for breaking his promise on the tax cuts, which they believe will haunt the government. Despite this, Newspoll shows that most Australians support the changes, and the Coalition has formally agreed not to block the proposed amendments, with Peter Dutton attacking Albanese for his 'egregious breach of trust and promise' on the issue.
