This is part two of a six-part series.
Michael McCormack, Nationals: We will provide tax cuts for hard working families to provide relief from bracket creep.
Our whole plan is aimed at creating more jobs, providing people cost of living certainty.
We’re not going to impose a carbon tax like Labor and the Greens, which will push power prices through the roof.
Tim Kurylowicz, Labor: Reindexing Medicare rebates saves the average family with two children $420 per year off the cost of going to the doctor.
Wage growth has crashed since Coalition took power in 2013, but we will protect people's penalty rates.
Labor's commitment to education will see extra 211 teachers in our electorate alone, with good incomes, spending more in the local economy
Kevin Poynter, Greens: Banks have spent a lot of time and energy over many years convincing people to use credit cards.
Then the bank put charges on businesses, who pass them on to consumers to use credit.
Banks are hardly poor, we need to stop excessive charges.
Phillip Langfield, Christian Democrats: The government needs to look at the overall economic situation and redistribute some of the wealth.
There’s been no mention by leaders of the pension, but cost of living has risen over 18 months and the pension needs to go up to reflect that.
Richard Foley, Independent: Scrap all 125 taxes and replace them with 2 per cent tax on all banking transactions.
We would double tax revenue and people would keep 98 per cent of their incomes.
And raise the pension to to $1200 per fortnight and make it available to all seniors, with no means-testing and no reductions for spouses.
