Treasurer Scott Morrison accuses Labor of wanting to “steal” from pensioners and self-funded retirees through its new tax plan.

“What the Labor party has proposed today is that they’re going to strip away the tax refund of people on low incomes, pensioners and self-funded retirees for the credits that they’re entitled to.

“That is just completely and utterly unfair.”
