A second Liberal MP has declared they could live on Newstart, following Julia Banks’s similar statement last Wednesday.
Tim Wilson stated on Q&A last night, he could live on what would be $40 a day, or 40% of minimum wage and resisted suggestions to increase allowances stating the money would have to come from somewhere else.
Wilson also defended the 65 billion dollar tax cut for big companies proposed by the Government, when fellow panellist Jeremy Heimans, co founder of GetUp! suggested the money could come from there.
