‘Intergenerational fraud’: Jane Hume criticises budget ‘assault’ on young Australians

Deputy Liberal Leader Jane Hume commented on the “abhorrent” new measures pushed by the Labor government in the budget changes.

“Let’s face it, young people who are now saving for a home are now going to face higher taxes on their savings, and they’re going to have fewer homes to buy, and their rents are going to go up in the meantime,” Ms Hume told Sky News Australia.

“This is a budget based on a fraud, on a lie; they called it intergenerational equity, I call it intergenerational fraud.

“This is really an assault on those that are trying to accumulate wealth.”
