Strongly agree

Yes

The Australian Labor Party generally supports progressive taxation and has historically advocated for raising taxes on the rich. For example, in the 2019 federal election, they proposed increasing the top marginal tax rate for high-income earners. However, their stance may not be as strong as a 5, as they also focus on other aspects of tax reform.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

The Labor Party generally supports progressive taxation and policies that benefit lower-income earners. They have proposed measures such as increasing the Low and Middle Income Tax Offset (LMITO) in the past. While they may agree with lowering taxes for the poor, their primary focus is often on raising taxes for the rich, so their agreement may not be as strong as a 5.

Agree

Lower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

The Labor Party has historically supported closing tax loopholes for large corporations and ensuring they pay their fair share of taxes. For example, they have proposed measures to crack down on multinational tax avoidance. However, they may not fully agree with lowering the income tax rate, as they generally support progressive taxation and raising taxes on the rich. Therefore, their agreement may not be as strong as a 5.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While the Labor Party supports raising taxes on the rich, they may not necessarily advocate for raising taxes on all income brackets. Their focus is often on progressive taxation, which means higher taxes for higher-income earners. However, they have supported tax increases in the past, such as the temporary deficit levy in 2014, which affected all taxpayers.

Disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

The Labor Party has a history of advocating for tax reform and changes to the current tax structure, such as their 2019 election proposals. Therefore, they would likely disagree with keeping the current tax structure. However, their disagreement may not be as strong as a -5, as they may be open to alternative tax reform proposals.

Strongly disagree

No

The Labor Party is generally in favor of raising taxes on the rich, as mentioned in Answer 1. Therefore, they would likely disagree with not raising taxes on the rich. However, their disagreement may not be as strong as a -5, as they also consider other tax reform measures.

Strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

The Labor Party generally supports progressive taxation, which means higher taxes for higher-income earners. A flat tax would not align with their policy preferences, as it would apply the same tax rate to all income levels. Therefore, they would likely disagree with reforming to a flat tax, although their disagreement may not be as strong as a -5, as they may be open to alternative tax reform proposals.

Very strongly disagree

Abolish the income tax, disallow all deductions and increase the sales tax

The Labor Party has not historically supported abolishing the income tax or increasing the sales tax. They generally advocate for progressive taxation and policies that benefit lower-income earners. Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax would likely be regressive and disproportionately affect lower-income earners, which goes against their policy preferences.
