Scott Morrison may be selling the benefits of his $10-a-week tax cut for low- and middle-income earners but many in the Twitterverse are not amused. #KeepMyTenDollars has prompted a slew of suggestions about how the money could be better spent: free education, reliable public transport or renewable energy, to name a few.
Jill Moran wrote she would put her $10 towards Newstart.
#keepmytendollars and put it towards Newstart. It's unacceptable that people are so low on $$ they are forced to choose between food and tampons.

The ACTU secretary, Sally McManus, tweeted that she wants her $10 put towards raising the minimum wage.

Clare Moore called for her $10 to be spent on dental care or on saving the Great Barrier Reef. Aine Hillbilly called for the money to be used to fund the NDIS.
