'30 per cent more tax’: Sloane unloads on Minns for higher taxes and weaker economy
NSW Opposition Leader Kellie Sloane accuses the Minns government of driving up taxes, shrinking the economy and dragging the state from first to worst. “What we’re seeing under this Minns Labor government is a lack of vision for the state, a shrinking economy, higher taxes,” Ms Sloane told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. “People in NSW are being taxed 30 per cent more than they were under the Coalition, and their budget papers show it’s going to go up another 16 per cent. “It is no wonder our economy is going backwards, and we went from the top-performing economy in the country under the Liberals and the Nationals three short years ago to being at the bottom of the pack. “We’re going backwards.”
