    An extra 10% tax on iron ore exports would yield almost $8 billion a year which would pay the annual interest on the Corvid -19 debt.:

    "Australia's iron ore export earnings are expected to increase from $61 billion in 2017–18 to an estimated $79 billion in 2019–20." ( Source: Resources and Energy Quarterly).

    Instead our Neo-Liberals will probable make you and I pay:
    -higher GST
    -land tax ( on top of rates)
    -death taxes (dead set eh?)
    -inheritance tax
    -higher grog taxes
    -higher petrol taxes
    -less PAYE concessions
    etc etc.

    If self interest is good enough for multinationals, then surely self interest for all Aussies is a fair go!
