Reply sneak peak of savage cuts: Wong Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has given a "sneak peek" of the savage cuts he would implement if he becomes prime minister, Finance Minister Penny Wong says. Mr Abbott on Thursday night outlined almost $5 billion a year in spending cuts to pay for a pledge to retain tax cuts and pension and benefit increases linked to Labor's carbon pricing regime. If the opposition wins government in September, Mr Abbott said it will discontinue the low income superannuation contribution that is part of Labor's mining tax package, to save just under $1 billion. It will delay by two years the phased increase in the superannuation guarantee charge from nine per cent to 12 per cent to 2021, to save $1.1 billion a year, he said in his budget-in-reply. Meanwhile, public service payroll will be cut by 12,000 over two years, saving $1.75 billion and the 6,250 increase in Australia's humanitarian intake and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation will both go. Senator Wong said the opposition leader had confirmed who would be hit by a coalition government. "The people Liberals always hit is working Australians," she told reporters in Canberra. The superannuation changes would "take an axe" to the superannuation savings of 8.4 million Australians, she said. "Tony Abbott, like the Liberal Party more generally, has never supported superannuation being extended to working Australians, and they have demonstrated that again tonight," she said. She described a promised commission of audit as a "secret inquiry": "Which would mean savage cuts like the ones Queenslanders are already seeing." Senator Wong denied Mr Abbott had blunted Labor attacks on the coalition, and its lack of budget detail. "If anything I think what its done is made very clear the values that drive Mr Abbott when he comes to his cuts," she said. It's given Australians a very clear message about the sort of approach he'd take - a sneak peak of the savage cuts to come were he ever to become prime minister.
