Beazley cornered on tax
Kim Beazley's vulnerability to a tax scare campaign was heightened yesterday when he failed to blunt a high-level warning from within that Labor was willing to lift taxes to pay for its election promises. The warning, from Labor frontbencher Stephen Conroy yesterday - to a Canberra school audience - surprised and shocked his colleagues. Mr Beazley said last night, "Families will benefit from GST rollback, while Labor will not increase personal income taxes." But he failed to give similar assurance about other taxes – such as company and indirect taxes.
