- Jacqui Lambie Network Senator Jacqui Lambie has reacted to the stoush between Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor over the cost of the Coalition’s tax-free lunch policy.
“I think there’s room to move on what Dutton’s calling with these lunches and dinners,” Ms Lambie told Sky News Australia.
“When it comes to small business, a lot of these cafes, these restaurants, things like that, they’re locally owned by people and they are struggling to keep their doors open.”
Only a Labor supporter would believe the BS coming out of their mouths. What are taxpayers paying for this Labor government's lunches and dinners ( thousands $ every meal ) while some Australians miss out on meals every day. About time, the Australian people were looked after.
Who pay for ours lunches a.c.t.?Joke....And they earning hundreds of thousands of dollars..
Bye bye labor. You know it, we know it. YOU ARE OUT.
Who’s worse our labor mob or englands ?
What is it with lefty loonie politics
Yeh and replaced with another bunch of LNP D##kheads, who think that by giving small business a tax free lunch that will somehow increase their bottom line?? Wake up Australia keep voting in these same 2 party clowns and the place will end up a disaster.
Any numbers 'crunched' by or for Chalmers are instantly suspect.
And how many billions of tax payer dollars has Labor given away to their corporate mates. Labor are done, they must be held accountable for the massive waste of our money, and their total contempt for the Australian people, their EMPLOYERS..
It's obviously going to give small businesses like Cafe's etc a much needed hand .
Cafes charge $6 for coffee that costs them 20c to make and $10-15 for food that costs them $2-3. Don't feel too bad for them.
You do realise businesses have to pay tax staff wages Rent power etc too
@@ibanezlaney If you think a cup of coffee cost oonly 20 cents then go and buy a kilo of coffee + sugar + milk
@@ibanezlaney You forgot wages genius.
@@ibanezlaney If you think those numbers are real, then you have about as much knowledge of the economics of running a business as the laughable 'Dr Chalmers'. And that is absolutely none.
It's disgusting how taxes are never used where they are appropriated to be used and then they have the audacity to talk to us as though there's some kind of need in updates
Albo's a weasel vote him out
Jimbo is wrong
Cafes are struggling for customers. And im struggling to beable to aford to eat out
im a small business u can stick yr tax payer funded lunches. u will screw it out of us another way
Suddenly they are concerned about the tax payer! We, the tax payer, foot the bill for everything. How can they not know this. Guess what, in this case spend $20k on lunches and we get most of it back in GST and wages for those now working to support it.
labor are clutching at straws.
They are now.
What little straws they have left
I think they are snorting something with straws because there’s no way they are firing on all cylinders!
Why is it both majors campaign on how they are going to spend money?.... but none of them talk about how NOT to spend the money. Government needs to live within its means and stop using the Australian people as their little cash cow
Grim Jim, estimates 1.6 to 10 Billion, that's a huge disparity! So what's the total cost of this renewable energy system of solar, turbines and transmission lines going to cost us Grim? We're still waiting mate.
That's because it's gotta cost 1 to 2 trillion dollars.That will be paid for by the taxpayer or the consumer.
GRIM Jim can't tell you as he doesn't know. But he'll come up with a few lies anyway.
AIRBUS ALBO IS AT IT AGAIN
Jacqui is right for a change, it's not a burden on the taxpayers. Big Government and all there freebies is the burden on taxpayers,
so is this idiots,signed business owner
The great point here, is that the people get the money, and not for the Government to waste, that money will go around and thought the Economy...!!
No politicians use their own wages. The just wave the govt debit card everywhere with all their mates. It is a 24x7 junket and they are not even needed. No one needs any politicians. What do politicians do? Just puppets anyway.
Have to laugh when jimmy boy talks about economics
DIM, GRIM, JIM SNAKE CHALMERS. NOTHING SUSS HERE WITH HIS MATHS. LIES JUST FALL OUT OF HIM AS HE DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE HOW TO RUN AN ECONOMY.
But he knows how TO MAKE UP STUFF to cover his MASSIVE SHORT COMINGS.
Jacqui looks like she has been out on a few free lunches
Tax Payers are already footing the bill for tax payer lunches & flights for labor ministers 😂
And you think you don't pay for Liberals doing the same thing?
What about the NSW LIEBOR MP Using her car & driver for personal use. Straight out Stealing TAXPAYERS MONEY.
@ yeah there all up to their neck in rorts
Is Chalmers talking about tax payers footing the bill for the NSW minister for transport’s winery trips?
Don’t forget 600 million for a rugby club in PNG
I back eny tax cut . Every body needs tax cuts
20k lunch.
Are you serious Albo
You are a fool.
@@matcole1975 $4.3 Million % Agree.
Hey Jim how about your tax payer funded Electricity rebate and the tax payer funded 26000 government jobs for foreigners???
its very exciting for everybody today
Small business are relying on low paid immigration to prop up their unsustainable operations.. what could go wrong 😂
government jobs are already relying on that. 80% of the jobs that albo has created since taking office, have been in or associated with the government.
Because complexity of economy is dead. Is only property, NDIS, govt jobs and Aboriginal services. Nothing happening outside of that. Australia has complexity of Equatorial Guinea and they do not even have a movie theatre. The only thing keeping Australians well off are their property prices and property isn't an economy
@daniellebcooper7160 that's actually government doing the only thing it's supposed to do: providing services
@@ZELJKO472 this is the only smart thing you have ever said, well done
@@ApexAL providing services is one thing, creating useless jobs is another.
When Labor crunches numbers we know they are spot on, how’s that $275 electricity bill promise working out! 😂😂😂
Get rid of Jackie Lambie
Let’s talk about Labor,s waste of money it would be frightening Albo and Charmers tell us what you have done in 3 years except a pack lies RESIGN and Albo go to Palestine with your bed mates
Halloween Already. 😆
She has a straw broom .😂
I can’t believe Jackie lambie should be talking about anything
the way i see it, Trump proves what having a leader with balls and a spine looks like.
our govt is cooked
I don't know if she is all that clever, but she is refreshingly realistic
Lambie is correct
Hairdressers emergency.
Labour can't come up with a feasible plan to help small businesses..this is a good thing😊
what yr free luch will help yr business, man u r deluded obviously not a good business owner!!
Keating stopped this loophole now the Coalition want to open this area up to abuse. Typical
Yeah - The potatoes in this comment section who seem to think Duttons idea will benefit them is astounding. It is so bosses can claim their personal entertainment/food expenses. If they were serious they would allow workers to claim lunch on workdays and it would be way cheaper than a 20k tax break for small businesses.
@ibanezlaney it's an LNP Murdoch owned network. What do you expect? A decade of LNP wasn't bad enough? That's why Labor are in government. Dutton is worse but people want change for the sake of change? Dutton won't even release costings of his policies until AFTER the election.
They already have free lunches....the expense accounts go crazy over food and drink...classed as entertainment for tax deductions! How many free lunches has the queen of botox had?
750 dollars for two Labor ministers to have lunch and Chalmers is crapping on about this. And that's only the ones that have been outed . Call the fckn election albooooo ya grub 🍻🇭🇲
ALL are in it for themselves. That's why I don't bother with any of them. Politicians are not needed.
You really think Scomo or Howard didn't do the same? Or that Dutton doesn't/wont? They all do it.
If Labor were supportive for small business then you would be doing something now for them and their struggling workers! Under this policy the workers would be far happier and work harder !!
Only things going are NDIS, property, Aboriginal services. Govt jobs. Your kids and descendants will be working for the govt or delivering govt programs.
Albos had more free lunches than any one else in Australia!!!and more free "ungraded air flights and hotel stays in his lifetime years as a career politicians. Not a days real work just talking and he gets it all for free/ benefits etc etc.
Yes you can tell how many FREE LUNCHES ELBOW HAS HAD. YOU CAN SEE THE FOLDS ON THE BA K OF HIS NECK HANGING OVER HIS SHIRT COLLAR.
He definitely given that phone of his a workout demanding free flights!
if albolier had to live on what he actually earned in his life he have starved 50 yrs ago
Jacqui makes a very good point.
people looking for handouts remember 275$ u will still be paying for those lunches ,no money trees
I think jacqui has had her Redbull 😳...whoo hoo
Keep it up and the public eye will change focus to politicians perks.
What has labor done to help small business
@@user-tq4zm9yr6l Liebor has helped SO MANY SMALL BUSINESSES INTO RECEIVERSHIP.
Jacqui is one of the few politicians that care.
Shame Shame Shame Labor party u politicians not only get free lunches u get free limousine helicopter or whatever rides to your free lunches how can Labor state or federal give police a 45% pay rise and our poor nurses can't get a decent pay rise Shame Shame Shame
they have no shame or morals or sense
Chalmers is delusionally dreaming again. He is as bad as Albo in the matter of Peter Dutton!
@@kirkc4696 THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME B.S. SPEECH FOR THE ELECTION. ONLY BECAUSE THE CANT FUNCTION OR THINK FOR THEMSELVES. BOTH ARE SO FAR OUT OF THEIR DEPTH.
Have your cake and eat it, while you cut our lunch 😂
How a person like Lambie got the numbers to become a federal politician beats the shit out of me. We need people with integrity and intelligence to have input into how this country is run. The same applies to these commentators influencing public opinion
The Tax system is stacked against Cafes. Flour, Eggs and Sugar( NO GST INPUT CREDIT) = Cake (GST PAID....OUCH!)
You ignored they bit where they only have to sell one slice of that cake to make more back than the entire thing costs to make.
$100million on Upgrade to the road to Albos hilltop beach home??? And this government has the gall to begrudge small businesses a tax break
For every $20k spent by a business, a small business gets $18k and pays tax on that. The ATO also gets $2k in GST. You can bet none of this is included in the ALP’s numbers. Just like they won’t count transmission lines in their renewables costings.
Charmers is an absolute union labor fool and just remember when he calls himself a Dr but that is through a thesis on Paul Keating. Albanese stop sending our tax payers money to the Palestine. Thank you Jacqui you are one of my favourites.
ALBO MUST GO ! He's a bloody VANDAL .
Did he say help for small business owners 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LNP top priority for Australia and Australians
FREE lunches !....for some...a few...
The policy helps small businesses... On both sides of the ledger
Labor’s top priority is to do what’s best for themselves personally
Ask Grim Jim when he collects the tax from all small businesses what the hell does he piss it up the wall on?????
what if you aren't open at lunch? a person with full mind virus over 20 years old costs 36 dollars an hour even though they cant change a bin liner. giving law firms a tax break how about cutting us a break on payroll tax holiday, liquid waste removal and covering our council rates.
Perhaps a lunch trip to a winery in the hunter valley???
Is Jimmy Jim really our Treasurer. He obviously doesn't understand how the tax system works. A deduction for one taxpayer is assessable for another. The only variation is where there is difference between the tax rates applicable to the buyer and seller
Meanwhile, everyday workers just eat another shit sandwich.
Well Jacqui will vote with Labor anyway as she does . I fail to understand why they give her Airtime .
Good idea but $20,000, come on that's way to much.
The company I worked for a few years ago were great on entertaining customers and rewarding staff for their efforts. Another thing was the company had to spend 1 or 2% of their turnover on training due to a Labor party policy . Bloody waste. The so called " Trainers" were usually useless but required good money through a pathetic policy. 3-4 days away from home listening to Ex CEO`s, Marketing guru`s that knew nothing of the markets we were selling. These trainers sprung up everywhere , a bit like NDIS providers did when announced . Great policy foor small business to entertain or reward employees. But no more required training . Unions done well out of the traing tax too. Good old Labor. Knock the stuffing out of small businesses.
I think this is a fantastic idea. Would save the hospitality industry along with a lot of jobs and maybe it’s time they look at the cost of alcohol and the amount of tax on it as well.
Just make buying lunch while at work tax deductable for the individual. Business already deducts business lunches.
Duttons idea only helps the rich by giving them a bigger tax break they can rort to go out with mates to the footy or concerts/shows - Doesn't help the workers at all.
Doesn't ELBOW ALREADY DO THIS???
All these politicians except for maybe Jacqui are missing the bigger picture here. Boost small business incomes and they will go and dine out coz they'll have more money to spend. it's not rocket science right??? You do not need to give them a tax deductible lunch to increase their income, you need to improve the economy, increase the AUD against the other major currencies and in the short term maybe increase the tax benefit from buying equipment, tools, machinery, and vehicles. See, fixed and how hard was that?
Hands up who thinks this sheila really got the votes? Ahhhh.... DEI. What a winner.
I buy lunch every day costs 10920 a year just so i can eat at work wish i could claim it
So you seem to be spending around $45 a day on lunch? Wow! Lunch for you every day must be pretty nice..
@petbyr8795 work 7 day's a week so about 35 and no it's not flash
Tax free lunches wont help Australian with cost of living.
Its not for those struggling with the cost of living. The tax break is for your boss to claim his food/entertainment costs. Not for you. You will just pay for it.
$20.000 per year Free Lunch for Business... **MAGA 🤡's Cheer.**
The Party of the Battler apparently...
All the same. Remember the Mao era those leaders lived a life of utter opulent luxury whilst the masses struggled. A la the Greens they live opulent luxury life with heaps of properties whilst bagging the rich and risk takers 😆
what happened to jacqui's forehead. injections?
Albo sleazy going on about business tax free lunches. I like to know how much of the tax money is going into the politicians free lunches,travel, cars and other free stuff. Bloody hypocrites.
