Bill Shorten's pitch for Prime Minister begins with a promise of massive investments into health and education, as well as tax cuts on workers income.

In the labor party leader’s budget reply speech, Shorten proposed spending $1.2 billion to ensure almost all cancer scans are free and another $1 billion to create 150,000 apprenticeships.

 

Shorten also proposed, to match the coalition’s tax cuts, for incomes ranging from 48,000 to $126,00 and an even higher tax break for incomes of $45,000 and under.
