A reform to treat families with a stay-at-home parent as a single taxable unit is badly overdue, according to FamilyVoice Australia.

FamilyVoice spokesman David d’Lima wants the major political parties to treat couples with children as a single taxable unit, when one parent (usually the mother) stays at home to raise their children during the formative years.

“Its grossly unfair that families with a stay-at-home mother and a salaried father have a single tax break of $18,200 while two working parents get double that tax-free threshold,” David d’Lima said.

“As families increasingly are doing it tough, we call for a bipartisan pledge ahead of the election to make the tax system fairer, by assessing the income of couples with children as a single unit with a tax-free threshold of $36,400.

“The family is the basic unit of society and this must be recognised by a badly overdue reform of the taxation system,” he said.

“Anything we can do that will prosper families and parenting will have massive long-term benefits to the nation.”

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has now called the Federal Election for May 21 - just under six weeks from now.

Popular support for Labor has fallen in the wake of the Federal Budget. A close political contest is looming with the Coalition closing the gap.

A recent Newspoll shows Labor’s primary vote falling three points to 38 per cent.

With the Coalition improving a point to 36 per cent. It has narrowed the contest from a six-point margin three weeks ago to a two-point difference.

FamilyVoice has made a start on preparing a range of vote wisely resources that will give valuable information to Australians. This will not only be about what the major parties stand for. It will also include details of how MPs have voted on critical issues. See the below for what we have prepared before for other elections and want to do for the Federal Election.

A sample of election resources FamilyVoice has produced

How much we are able to produce and how widely we are able to distribute the much-needed information will depend on the funds that can be raised.

The more funds we can raise, the more Australian voters we will be able to reach with these important voting resources – in print and electronically.  We would also like to advertise it in Australian newspapers. We have limited time to get this into the hands of all Australians.


 
FamilyVoice never tells people how to vote. We seek to keep people informed on the issues and which party and candidates are standing up for Christian Values.
