堪培拉——澳大利亚绿党将推动提高免税收入门槛，该党新任领袖大卫·舒布里奇将澳大利亚人的挣扎描述为“普通人”与“1%”之间的斗争。
‘Everyday people’ vs the 1%: Australian Greens push to raise the tax-free threshold New Greens Leader David Shoebridge wants to fund the plan by taxing “rivers of gold” in mining CANBERRA — The Greens will push to raise the tax-free earnings threshold as the party’s new leader David Shoebridge frames the Australians’ struggles as a battle between “everyday people” and “the 1%.”
舒布里奇将于周三在国家新闻俱乐部发表演讲——这是他自9月30日接替拉里莎·沃特斯以来的首次重要演讲——其回应的核心将是将免税门槛从18200澳元提高至26000澳元，并为领取收入补助的澳大利亚人——包括养老金领取者、护理人员、学生和求职者——提供1000澳元的补贴。
When Shoebridge addresses the National Press Club on Wednesday — his first major address since replacing Larissa Waters Sept. 30. — the centerpiece of his response will be raising the tax-free threshold from $18,200 to $26,000, supplemented by a $1000 boost for Australians on income support — including pensioners, carers, students and jobseekers.
舒布里奇迅速调整绿党的信息重点，聚焦经济压力，并将持续高于3%的通胀归咎于“豪华装修、游艇、私人飞机和高端娱乐，这些是1%的人沉迷其中的”。直到现在，自2025年5月大选以来，绿党一直难以利用选民离弃两大主要政党的机会。
Shoebridge has moved swiftly to refocus Greens messaging around economic pressures, including blaming persistent inflation above 3% on “luxury renovations, the yachts, planes and high end entertainment that the 1% indulge in.”Until now, The Greens have struggled to seize on a voter exodus from the major parties since the May 2025 election.
