Federal Member for Mitchell, the Hon Alex Hawke MP, has welcomed the 2018-19 Federal Budget – a plan to build a stronger economy to benefit all Australians.

“We are providing responsible tax relief – starting in the Budget year for low and middle income earners – to ensure Australians keep more of their hard earned income. We are also lifting tax brackets to ensure that wages don't get eaten up by higher taxes.” Mr Hawke said. “65,616 taxpayers in Mitchell will stand to benefit from the low and middle income tax relief in the upcoming 2018-19 financial year.”
