The gas being exported untaxed is mind boggling, But also its better to be an entrepreneur and suck at it than be a shift worker.

My jaw dropped to hear about the potential $140b revenue gap. I knew we are low taxing but holy cow!

The taxation system is a means of ensuring class structure..... Industrial Relations and EBAs are also additional fictional phenomena.... our poverty is partly cultural.... it is the British 18th C Whitechapel approach to society 'the need for slums and crime so the wealthy few can feel superior and be shielded from competitors'.

This is fantastic! How can we access the slide presentation if we watched on youtube?

[@ImogenBunting]

Are there exams and certificates of completion? Grades? I love this. Thank you. 😃

Get rid of the GST and income taxes. Replace that loss of revenue with a Carbon tax. Why tax employment and the economy instead of taxing pollution ?

Wait till the newspapers release the new CPI increases for the Aged Pension Asset Test 20 September 2024. Someone with a Primary Residence is exempt, can have $1.28million in assets and still qualify for a Seniors Health Care Card gaining access at Valhalla (State Govt Seniors Concessions, look it up) and eventually a part pension full pension. But today the CPI increase just added $10 a week to the poor but to Seniors they got another $18k in eligibility threshold so more people just slide under that fence. Happy days....GenX, Z over to you! You are paying for that monstrosity.

Why are you from some strange country, not from Australia?

[@GeorgeMcphillips-i6t]

It’s low taxing if you don’t create anything or have investments calling these clowns experts is drawing a pretty long bow

This is so deceptive. They go after the highest earners because they represent a small number of people. So it's more likely to make the majority of the rest happy. But the shocking fact, is that 11.7% of tax payers are responsible for > 55% of all taxes collected. And 43.8% of tax payers are responsible for just 3.2% of taxes collected. It's disgusting. And only half of Aussies are tax payers. And we charge high income earners 49%. You're only claiming it's "low taxing" because you lump it all on the highest earners. And all this is done because we give away our natural resources instead of taxing or selling them ourselves. And make citizens cover that cost. So great, you make stupid headlines like this, and everyone shouts to tax the wealthy, you win the policy. But you fk over the people who are the most innovative. And prevent them from being able to create more opportunity for everyone.

boo hoo 11.7% of the tax comes from the 11.7% of the population who have 90% of all the money.
