Cost of living
Wages have not kept pace with what it costs to live here. The answer from both major parties has been another payment, another rebate, another form to fill in.
People First would rather leave the money with people in the first place — lifting the tax-free threshold to $45,000, letting families split their income, and paying childcare support directly to parents instead of to centres.
Lower Income Tax
Lift the tax-free threshold from $18,200 to $45,000 — about $4,000 back in your pocket — and let families split income up to $90,000 tax free.

Freeze the Fuel Excise

Flexible Childcare
Pay childcare money straight to parents, not to centres — so shift workers, part-timers and rural families can choose the care that actually fits.
