Labor's commitment to climate action is what really sets the party apart from the Liberals, Bill Shorten told the party faithful at the official campaign launch in Brisbane | michaelkoziol
The former prime ministers did not address the room, although Mr Keating appeared on the ABC after the event and railed against the Coalition government as "policy deadbeats".
Bill Shorten welcomes former Labor PMs Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard and Paul Keating ahead of the launch.Mr Shorten made two new major promises in his speech, including a "new jobs tax cut" for businesses with annual turnover of less than $10 million that take on new employees who are under 25, over 55 or carers returning to the workforce.
This was designed to stop multinationals "treaty shopping" by funnelling "dodgy royalties" into tax havens such as the Cayman Islands, Mr Shorten said. The policy would apply to companies with global turnover above $1 billion and save the government $2.3 billion over a decade, he said.
Labor's official campaign launch began with a pitch from Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk that capitalised on lingering resentment of Campbell Newman's former Liberal National state government and urged Queenslanders to "vote them out" federally. The Coalition holds eight federal seats in the Sunshine State by a margin of 4 per cent or less.
