Tony Abbott
The only party which is going to increase taxes after the election is the Labor Party.
Tony Abbott
Well, Michael, we will be telling the people of Australia in good time before the next election exactly what they can expect from us. No surprises, no excuses. They will be our watch words going into the election and afterwards, should we form a government.
