The Javosca Growth Dividend

Proposed by Red Green Labor · Passed 11 May 2019

✅ Passed

Rationale

A disciplined, pro-growth budget that cuts income tax across every earner band while trimming waste from subsidies, foreign aid, and lower-priority programs — all without touching the core promises to workers, families, and retirees. Healthcare, education, and pensions stay fully funded. The Arts & Culture pledge is honored in full. The result: lower taxes for every citizen, a surplus nearly double what it was, and faster debt repayment — proof that you don't need higher taxes to build a stronger economy.
