Tax reform

The Australian: Families worse off after $17 rise :


"BATTLING families will be 68c a week worse off as a result of the $17-a-week minimum wage rise handed down yesterday in what could be the Australian Industrial Relations Commission's last national safety-net decision."

Yes, we are all talking about it. Given we have the best trade deficit ever and they are talking about raising air ticket prices (after a recent increase in travel taxes) to cover our new security costs, the new tax "benefits" are really appealing to us today. The Australian has made an excellent job of demystifying it for us. So yes...

Tax debate: bring it on, says Beazley


Good idea!
