Australia records biggest income decline in the developed world, page-2

''Economists have urged Treasurer Jim Chalmers to overhaul Australia’s tax system ''

does that infer that 'economists' want lower taxes?

well if it does - I suggest that it's wrong. I suggest that some of the best living standards in the world are in higher taxing countries.

And whilst the article mentions Sweden and Norway - in particular to mortgage rates - I suggest that both of those countries have a lot more safety net mechanisms in place - and Norway is well set up for national wealth.

There's no argument that the tax system in Oz is crap. But, what builds a nation is what you DO with the tax revenue.

something they can already buy dirt cheap? -------------- pfffft, it makes no sense at all. And that's just one example
