Aussie mum says new tax cuts will do nothing as she issues a desperate plea to Anthony Albanese

A young mother has made a heartbreaking plea to the Albanian government to do more to tackle the cost of living crisis. According to her, tax cuts are not enough for young families to make ends meet.

Young mother Emma Robertson and her partner both work at least 40 hours a week to support themselves and their 15-month-old son Atlan.

Despite their heavy workload and the fact they live with Mrs Robertson’s parents, they say the tax cuts won’t be enough to help and the family is growing frustrated.

Ms Robertson told Channel Nine’s A Current Affair the tax cuts amount to “virtually nothing”.

‘The tax cuts will come, but everything else will go up. So that cannot be justified,” she told presenter Ally Landgon.

The government claims that the tax cuts passed earlier this year are intended to provide relief to low- and middle-income earners, while cutting benefits for taxpayers earning more than $150,000.

The 33-year-old mother is concerned that childcare costs for her son are still rising, despite living with family and receiving tax relief.

“We received an email saying our daily rate would increase by $17 per day, which realistically is a significant amount,” Ms Robertson added.

“If you think about everything else that has gone up, like car insurance, food prices, fuel, rent, rates and all that stuff… unfortunately this is not where I saw my life, but it is where we are now.”

The young mother works 40 hours a week, while her partner works up to 50 hours, but she said the couple struggles to live comfortably.

Ms Robertson said her family would “effectively be homeless” without her parents.

‘It’s a battle. “We’re doing everything we can to cut back where we can, just to survive, to put food on the table,” she said.

“Right now we just can’t save and get everything under control. It’s just too hard.’

When asked if she would ever own her own property, Ms Robertson said it was not something she could see herself doing in the current circumstances.

She pleaded with the government to ‘take action’ and help families like her, who need to reduce the cost of living to get ahead.

Mrs Robertson said she needs help from the government.

‘Every day I wake up and think: what’s going to happen this week? What’s going to rise today?’ she said.

‘It’s terrible. I never thought I would ever be in this situation, but here I am, just lining up.”

According to the Albanian government, the changes mean all 13.6 million taxpayers will receive a tax cut and 11.5 million taxpayers will receive a larger tax cut, compared to the Morrison government’s proposed changes in 2019.

The government also claims that 5.8 million women will receive a bigger tax cut compared to the coalition’s previous plan.

The changes mean Australians earning between $18,201 and $45,000 will now pay 16 per cent tax, down 3 per cent from the original Phase 3 plan.

The 32.5 percent tax bracket will drop to 30 percent for workers earning more than $45,000, but will be reduced to $135,000 under tax bracket changes.

People earning between $135,000 and $190,000 now pay 37 percent in taxes.

The top 45 percent tax bracket now starts at $190,000 instead of $180,000.

An Australian earning $50,000 will save $929 a year, meaning they will be $804 better off thanks to the new Stage 3 tax cuts.

Someone earning $90,000 will save $1,929 per year, a significant increase from the originally promised $1,125.

A worker earning $110,000 would save $2,429 a year, compared to $1,625 under the old plans.

Someone earning $140,000 would save $3,729 a year, slightly more than the $3,275 they would have gotten back under the coalition’s original plans.
