Should income earned from overtime hours be exempt from federal income tax?

Proposed by the Liberal-National Coalition to address the cost of living, this policy aims to encourage productivity by allowing workers to keep more of their extra earnings. Proponents argue it incentivizes hard work and helps fill labor shortages in trades and services. Opponents, including Labor and unions, warn it creates an administrative nightmare, risks fraud, and discriminates against women and salaried workers who cannot claim overtime.
