Fed: Labor accuses PM of scaremongering over its tax plan

Labor's accused the prime minister of scaremongering Australians over their family tax plan.

JOHN HOWARD last night said Labor wants to take the family tax benefit B .. a non-means
tested payment aimed primarily at families with a stay-at-home mother .. away from tens
of thousands of families.

But opposition family and community services spokesman CHRIS EVANS says Mr HOWARD is
scaremongering.

And he's challenged him to fix inequities in the tax system that allow millionaires
to get welfare .. while benefits are stripped from pensioners.
