	Description:		When it comes to the stage 3 tax cuts, voters will judge for themselves. We learned this week that the Albanese government will break its oft-repeated promise not to change the stage 3 cuts - which gives tax back to high income earners. Instead, it will redirect some of those cuts to middle-income earners - those earning up to $150,000. The overall impact on the federal budget will be broadly the same, according to Treasurer Jim Chalmers. So will voters let Labor off a broken promise if it means more money in their pocket? Or will they take the money but still mark Albanese down for going back on his word? Plus, who is Kim Williams, the new ABC Chair announced this week by the Prime Minister? And, we look briefly back on the controversial legacy of the former prime minister Scott Morrison, who announced his retirement from politics this week. Joining Jacqueline Maley on Inside Politics is chief political correspondent David Crowe, and newly appointed national affairs editor Andrew Probyn.
