The Coalition has a plan for lower taxes, a strong new economy and more jobs for Australians. Here’s five reasons to support us at this election.

1. Boosting Innovation and Science

Our Innovation and Science agenda will help us transition from the mining and construction boom to a new economy. By providing support to innovators and start-ups, we can help more Australians bring their great ideas to market.

We are also preparing our children for the jobs of the future by boosting participation in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).

2. Lower taxes

We’re helping small businesses get ahead by lowering their taxes. Small businesses employ 4.7 million Australians and are the engine room of our economy.

We’re also providing tax relief to hard working families, rewarding Australians for doing more overtime, picking up additional shifts, taking a promotion or a better new job, without being penalised by paying more tax through at the higher rate.

3. Economic Growth

By giving small business the confidence to invest in Australian jobs, our economy will grow. In particular, recent agreements signed by the Government with China, Japan and South Korea have made it easier for Australian small businesses to sell their goods to customers in these significant overseas markets.

Economic growth leads to more jobs, improved public services and higher incomes. In short, it means that the quality of life for all Australians will increase.

4. More jobs

When businesses pay less tax, have incentives to invest in Australia and the opportunity to grow their business to access to new overseas markets, they will employ more Australians.

The simple truth is that growing businesses need more employees, and by encouraging businesses to grow and invest in our economy, more Australians will be in work, in better paying jobs.

5. Guaranteed funding for health, education and roads

Despite what you may have heard, we are increasing spending on both health and education.

The Turnbull Government is investing record amounts in our schools with total Commonwealth funds reaching $73.6 billion over the next four years. That’s an increase of 26%.

The Government has also provided an additional $2.9 billion to public hospitals over the next three years. That’s an increase of up to 6.5% a year, with funding to be focused on delivering better patient outcomes, particularly when it comes to caring for patients with chronic and complex needs.

Our plan will deliver better schools and world class healthcare.

And we’re investing a record $50 billion in Australia’s land infrastructure — to improve road and rail links, reduce travel times and support economic growth, including $500 million that’s been allocated to fix road black spots.
