There have been a lot of big claims made about cutting company tax cuts.
The Australia Institute has looked at the evidence and our research suggests that the 'jobs and growth' claim doesn't stack up. What is clear is that cutting the company tax rate will put a very big, permanent and growing hole in the nation's budget bottom line. This policy will cost Australia billions, that is certain, and where that money will end up - or who wins? We summarised our research in this short TV commercial:
Between 29 February and 8 March 2016 The Australia Institute conducted a national opinion poll of 1412 people, through Research Now, with nationally representative samples by gender, age and state or territory.

"While that is obviously a matter for him, it looks like the public has moved on from Abbott-era policies and is looking for something new."
