School of Economics
Associate Professor Mark Humphrey-Jenner, School of Economics, UNSW Business School, is available to comment. Mark can be reached on his mobile at 0412965340 or by e-mail m.humphery@unsw.edu.au. Mark mentions that the announcement is a "politically expedient backflip that fails Australians, dents Albanese's credibility, attacks ambition, undermines productivity, and fails to grapple with the very real problem of bracket creep".
Professor Gigi Foster, School of Economics, UNSW Business School, is available to comment. Gigi can be reached on her work phone at +61290651518 or by email at gigi.foster@unsw.edu.au. Gigi mentions that while this will clearly be politically difficult for Albanese to do given the election promise, everyone is still getting some tax relief, and the change to plans recognises that it is the lower-income Australians who need the most relief.
