Lumping minimal taxation cuts into a convoluted bill with a bunch of negatives opposed by the Opposition – allowing the government to deride the Opposition for not endorsing the cuts – is a filthy trick. The massive scope of this legislation would require the opposition to go against its principles and defy logic for the sake of approving minor and futuristic tax concessions.

This government strategy allows it to laud itself over the opposition for depriving people of tax concessions.

This is low-down, dirty poliical trickery.
