200px|The Australian opposition leader's economic credentials have been attacked by his political opponents after being uncertain about the exact threshold of Australia's highest tax bracket. The ability of Australian opposition leader, Kevin Rudd to run the country's economy has been questioned by the Government after he made a minor error responding to a question on Australia's current tax system today. Speaking in Queanbeyan, New South Wales earlier today, Mr Rudd was asked if he could name the current tax rates and the thresholds at which they kick in. Australian treasurer Peter Costello, who introduced the tax threshold changes, has seized on the opposition leader's uncertainty  claiming that " He has never cared about economic policy, he has no interest in it," he said. A Federal election is expected in Australia in the next three months and the Coalition Government is trailing the Opposition by 10 percentage points on a two-party preferred basis.
