But, for Labor, there is never enough revenue! Andrew Clennell asked, 'Would you envisage no increase in taxes?' Here was the Leader of the Opposition with his big opportunity to rule them out and he said, 'I'm not about to make those sorts of announcements.' The Leader of the Opposition knows that the Labor Party can't manage money, and when they can't manage money they come after the Australian people's money. The Labor Party took $387 billion of higher taxes to the last election; it's still on their books. The Labor Party will always be the party of higher taxes.
