No surprises on The Sun front. Giving Albo an absolute bollocking for his deft switcheroo on the Stage 3 Tax cuts.

The deputy opposition leader, Sussan Ley, has walked back earlier comments suggesting the Coalition would repeal Labor’s revamped tax cuts that more than double tax relief for Australians on the average income.
On Thursday, Ley clarified that the opposition’s position is to “support the existing stage-three arrangements” but denied promising to roll them back in a bid to head off a Labor campaign that the Coalition will claw back low and middle-income tax relief.
Labor MPs and the treasurer, Jim Chalmers, had seized on Ley’s earlier suggestion the Coalition “absolutely” supports a repeal to argue that the opposition will fight the next election promising to tear up tax cuts that are more generous to 11 million Australians.
In a demonstration of the dilemma more generous tax cuts present to the Coalition, the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, painted Labor as the threat to its own new policy.
In his regular 2GB Radio spot, Dutton questioned how voters could “believe these tax cuts will survive if Labor is re-elected” given the government’s “credibility issue” after abandoning stage three.
