Here is some info for those who don't think we need increased taxes -

Over the next five years the Government will spend $99.3 billion to support aged care services.

Health expenditure - 2005/06 was $2.4 billion
Health expenditure - 2017/18 is $94.2 billion

Honestly, you guys are living in fairy land if you think we are going to be fine without an increase in taxes. We have an ageing population and a decreasing proportion of people paying tax. You guys don't want to increase immigration, you don't want to pay more tax, so how are we going to afford everything?
