We're not taxed to the eyeballs. Something I just proved.
Well now we're just going around in circles. Here's a cut and paste from yesterday.
Now if you don't want to increase taxes, fine, ignore everything I said but then the onus is on you to come up with your proposed solutions. Don't be like One Nation, good at slagging off everyone but a literal policy vacuum.
Also, thanks for the link, I already have them on speed dial.
Pre covid immigration ran at about 140 000 a year. That's the bare minimum to keep the economy ticking over. So over 5 years that's 700 thousand people. So I ask you again, where are you going to get all these people from? And that's 5 years. Project that to 10 and you have 1.4 million.
No I don't have a solution. I'm not so simple minded to say stupid shit like, 'let's be choosy', when there aren't any real alternatives. Nor do I have the solution to a rapidly aging workforce, a shrinking tax base, decreased fertility and an economy based on perpetual (nee Ponzi scheme) growth.
These are massive challenges as I've already said that are multi-faceted and extremely complex.
However if I were to have a crack at it I would think the number one reason for a negative fertility rate would be the cost of housing and living. People won't elect to have children if they can't afford a house and can't afford to raise those children. (Or will only have one child.)
So that means a massive, almost post WW2 level investment in housing. Where's the money going to come from you'd ask me next. Well champ you tell me? I'd tax billionaires, increase royalties on resources and raise taxes across the board, remove negative gearing for housing (phase it out), ban or severely restrict investment on residential properties, and get rid of the capital gains discount (phased out over time).
You know, engage in a fair bit of wealth redistribution. (All of which I've said before if you'd pay attention.)
Sort out affordable housing as a very first step and then go from there.
I know you're going to scream SOCIALISM at me and that's fine but unless you have a better solution then keep your insults to yourself and put forward your solutions.
Points YOU didn't address even though specifically asked me. And to reiterate YOU asked me what I would do so do me the same courtesy and have a crack yourself.
Where are we getting 100s of thousands of immigrants from?
How are you going to ensure they'll assimilate?
What are you going to do to make housing more affordable?
How are you going to increase fertility and
what are you going to do about a shrinking tax base?
People are paying far too much tax in this country and you want people to be paying more?
We're already one of the most heavily taxed countries in the world and you want us paying more?
There needs to be a royal commission into government spending, the gross waste of funds by this government is ridiculous and is contributing to the cost of living crisis in this country.
The money Albo wasted on his vanity project, The Voice could've been spent on getting more public housing built.
That's the problem with the Left's obsession with "taxing the rich".
As we've seen with rich celebrities like the late Peter Allen, Paul Hogan, Lleyton Hewitt etc they all pissed off to live in areas of the US or countries like the Bahamas who pay little to no tax.
Where are you going to get your money from once that happens?

Maybe Rio Tinto, BHP and FMG can move their mines to the Bahamas too. Why do you hate Australia so much?
Not wanting to pay tax to rip off your fellow citizens is clearly a dog act. Every one of those tax dodging fuckers can get fucked.
Would you rather your mum wait 2 months to get a CT scan because there's not enough machines or walk in after a few days and get one because all of that shit is paid for with taxes?
Nobel Prize-winning American economist Joseph Stiglitz made the assertion on ABC’s Q&A on Monday night. What exactly did he mean, and does the claim stack up?

Figures from 2018 show a sizeable gap between Australia’s gas tax revenue of about A$1.1 billion, and that of our nearest competitors. Qatar collected gas royalties that same year of more than $50 billion, and Norway’s special gas tax netted the country $19.5 billion.
It is obvious, even to dispassionate observers like Stiglitz, that Australia’s lacklustre gas tax legislation results in a gas industry that doesn’t pay its fair share for community-owned natural resources.

Yeah I wonder how the 30 countries that are getting taxed more than us are coping. Clearly their countries have been abandoned by, lord help us, all their celebrities.
You really are dumb. We are one of the lowest taxed countries in the OECD despite your lies.
