"Action on climate change won't have a negative effect on economic growth. Most of the mainstream modelling shows that our economy will continue to grow." - @billshortenmp #abc730 #auspol #Ausvotes2019

"We're going to take real action on climate change. We're going to lock after three million pensioners & Commonwealth senior health card holders with dental care, we're going to provide a million Australian families with better child care support." @billshortenmp #abc730 #auspol

"First-home buyers find it hard to get in the market, but if you're a property investor buying your sixth or seventh property, this Government gives you a subsidy. Is that really fair?" @billshortenmp. #negativegearing #abc730 #auspol #Ausvotes2019

"This nation can't keep giving away money to property investors to make losses on property. We are grandfathering it, though. No-one will be affected who is currently invested under these laws." @billshortenmp on changes to #negativegearing. #abc730 #auspol #Ausvotes2019

"When you get an income tax credit, when you haven't paid income tax, it's a gift from the Government. You're already on the public purse." @billshortenmp on #FrankingCredits #abc730 #auspol #Ausvotes2019

"Australian people and business are so far ahead of the political debate, you must be bored by the Government's rhetoric which simply wants to say that we can't do this and we can't do that. The rest of the world is so far ahead of us it's embarrassing." - @billshortenmp #abc730

"There is a cost to investing in new technology but they're absolutely convinced that the only way we will keep making steel in Australia is by investing in renewable energy." - @billshortenmp #abc730 #auspol #Ausvotes2019

“You'll have a Labor government that is going to steal the money from thousands of retirees by taking away their franked dividend credits.”- @ScottMorrisonMP #Frankingcredits #abc730 #auspol #Ausvotes2019

“There are a lot of people in self-managed super funds that probably shouldn't be there, when you look at the cost and the level returns, but also the lack of diversification.” - Eva Scheerlinck, Aust Institute of Super Trustees. @aistbuzz #abc730 #frankingcredits #auspol

“I could end up closing my self-managed super fund, that's a real possibility. I would probably close it anyway, but I'd rather that'd be my choice, rather than pushed into it by changing franking credits.” - Steve Gledhill. #abc730 #frankingcredits #auspol #Ausvotes2019

“If you are getting a tax credit when you haven't paid any income tax, this is a gift. It is a gift. It is not immoral, nor is it illegal, but it is a gift," – @billshortenmp #abc730 #frankingcredits #auspol #Ausvotes2019

“The #frankingcredits proposal is the most unfair proposal and hostile proposal I've ever heard or seen in my life. It targets entirely the wrong people,” says retiree Steve Gledhill. #abc730 #auspol #Ausvotes2019

.@AustralianLabor want to stop cash refunds for #frankingcredits to retirees with self-managed super funds and who don’t pay tax. #abc730 @carringtonAU #auspol #Ausvotes2019
