“Bill Shorten is trying to hide the impact of his high taxing agenda on the economy, on jobs and on working families around Australia,” Senator Cormann told Sky News.

“The Labor Party has deleted a number of their tax hikes off their websites. But quite frankly it is not good enough. They should wipe their $387bn in higher taxes altogether.”

Opposition Treasury spokesman Chris Bowen returned fire and declared the Liberal Party’s website was not even working.

“The Liberal Party has got four election policies that have gone on the website. Congratulations. They’ve got four of them up. That’s OK. They’ve got a Liberal plan on their website,” he said.

“The trouble is, if you click on the plan, Safari could not open because the page is down. It’s terrible when that happens.”
