Greens demand $22b tax lift on resources to fund cuts for workers

Greens leader David Shoebridge will continue in the footsteps of his predecessors with a pledge to impose huge new taxes on the resources and corporate sectors in return for tax cuts for workers and increased welfare.

In a speech to the National Press Club of Australia on Wednesday, his first such address as leader, Shoebridge will unveil a policy to lift the tax-free threshold from $18,200 to $26,000, which would equate to an annual tax cut of $1000 for every worker.
