昆士兰自由国家党 (LNP) 承诺,如果当选,将永久免除全科医生 (GP) 的工资税,旨在降低患者费用。 The Queensland Liberal National Party (LNP) has promised to permanently exempt general practitioners (GPs) from payroll tax if elected, aiming to reduce patient fees. 新南威尔士州和维多利亚州最近的法律裁决将政府雇员归类为雇员,规定他们须缴纳工资税。 Recent legal rulings in NSW and Victoria classified GPs as employees, making them subject to payroll tax. 包括工党政府在内的批评者质疑LNP为这一政策的资金策略, 估计每年损失约1亿美元的收入. Critics, including the Labor government, question the LNP's funding strategy for this policy, which is estimated to cost around $100 million annually in lost revenue.
