A plan 4 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: is being floated which would see the Goods and Services 5 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: Tax increase to fifteen percent, as well as broadening it 6 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: to include food, education, health and childcare, while there will 7 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: also be a three three hundred dollars a year sweetener. 8 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: Anthony Albinezi, though, says the only policy he'll be focused 9 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: on is reducing income taxes. 10 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 2: Governments make government policy, and our tax policy.
